JJones126 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) This is my first topic on the sight! So my problem is I have a black '05 ss and i'm having the grille inserts painted black, the whole truck is black the only things that are not black are the rims(Chrome) and the SS badges. I'm loving the murdered out look but feel leaving the ducts OE make them stand out and be noticed(in a good way) I think if they're painted they just blend in with the bumper. IDK? Thanks in advance for the replies. If any of you could post pics also that would be great.

diggerdan11 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Since you have a Black SS i would say leave them. The air ducts make the truck stand out as an SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stg313 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I vote to paint them. They were painted on my truck and it looked amazing. See sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJones126 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Since you have a Black SS i would say leave them. The air ducts make the truck stand out as an SS Thats what I was thinking. But I've had a couple of "friends" say I should paint them black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your truck, so do what you think is best! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WretchedSS Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I like mine black over the OEM... imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 It honestly looks good both ways, I blacked mine out but I was actually considering doing red ducts, bowtie, and emblems at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbird Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 i did mine flat black. its enough of a contrast to tell theyre there but still blacked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 im in the same delima right now but im guna leave mine oem to keep them to stand out. i like them being noticed. then they catch an eye rather then people thinking (oh there goes another black truck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Those ducts give the SS a defineing look imo, so I would leave them oem grey or even better get Shopman1 chrome duct inserts to match your rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
