Those louvers look TERRIBLE in person on the car. Just do the ones off of the KR:

i've seen all the mods you've done and this is the first bad one. The kr louvers were designed for the car you have. they even come in an aluminum look which is sharp.

Oh and hey, you got my vote over on TMS - that is one great looking machine you've put together. When I first started looking at the contestants I was like...hmmm.... blue with stripes..yawn...red with stripes...yawn...black with a totally unique theme and great execution

I bought the SHR louvers back in July. I personally like them alot. I have not put them on yet. I am going to install some sound deading material when I do. If I am going to pull all the molding I might as well pull the rest of the backend and install some d-mat at the same time. Help with some road noise and make the tunes sound better. I think making sure you tape the heck out of the paint before sawing would be the safe way. Looks simple otherwise. Just take your time!

Back on topic, I would gor for it forsure mellow and paint them black also is my 2 cents . I have the similar gts-2 hood and I painted my vents on there black and my shr louvers black and it looks bad ***, almost as if the car came like that cause they look like they belong together.

The wheelskins look cheap IMO, I'm not sure why people like them so much. Is it because they cost so little and are already painted? You can't even see out those at all, so why are you worried about a little distortion out of the SHR's. Atleast you can still see. Remember this is just my opinion
Here's the view out of both. You have a decreased view out of both, compared to stock. The wheelskins have wider slots blocking the view and the SHR ones will have distortions from the thick plastic.
I have to back out of my parking spot into an alley that people like to speed down and wanted a clear view instead of a distorted one for my daily driver. Just my preference, and obviously if I had a showcar I wouldn't care so much.
