hmm mine matched perfectly and the inside was black, which matches my interior perfectly.

RE: Side louvers from hubcapsplus
Nuke, looking at your pics, mine look like yours. Maybe I'm just more of a nitpicker, but to me, in the picture, your louvers look a
shade darker than the body too.
I'll try calling them tomorrow if I don't get a response to my e-mail. They need to be black inside at least...

RE: Side louvers from hubcapsplus
I have a set also in silver and they came perfect. On the inside it is black,with a little over spray. I just taped up the outside and sprayed them in dull black and since I have tint you don't see it anyway.To get a perfect match they have to be sprayed in the way they sit on the car,kinda like hanging them and not paintint them on a flat surface.Good luck!

RE: Side louvers from hubcapsplus
mds, what kind of paint did you use? I'm not too worried about "perfect", just want them black.
Still, don't think you should really have to modify brand new parts...

plutnicki, I'm a little baffled that yours came in white on the back side. If I recall, the add stated they were black ABS plastic. I'd ask them why yours are white and others are black. Just seems a bit strange...

RE: Side louvers from hubcapsplus
The ad states:
"These louvers do not require prepping or painting. They are ready to install right out of the box!
Constructed from high impact, ABS plastic which will never rust, these side window louvers are
attached to the side quarter window glass."
Maybe they've changed suppliers for the part, or changed painters since. Does yours appear to be painted black,
or just raw black plastic...
