Default Paint question: Side Louvers

My MRT side louvers finally came in and spawned a nice little question for us to chew on.

Its a given that the outside should be painted to match the car BUT what about the inside?

The way I see it i have 3 options to choose from:

1. Paint to match. A safe and easy option but wont necessarily look normal from the inside.

2. Blackout the window. Recommended in the documentation, but not the route i want to go.

3. Paint the inside either black or light grey(my interior color) to make it blend in a little better, something not glossy. I figure i can do this myself with regular spray paint after i get the pieces back from the paint shop.

Number 3 was my own idea, but its hard to know what will really work best because you cant see it till after the fact.

Thoughts? I appreciate it!

If I needed to paint it myself, I would do it before sending it to body shop.
Then I wouldn't have to worry of over spraying the freshly painted louver.

What is the default color of the side louver?

Hi
Use dark tint (limo) on the back window then it wont matter what you do to the inside of the louvre.
I held on up to mine and you couldnt tell.
