Arrow Black Trans Am - Silver or Chrome Ram Air Screens (Photos Now Included)

I've seen photos of the billet mesh, but I am not a fan. I'm looking for any photos of people who have painted the stock ram air screen on their WS6 or similar hood. Black car preferably. I'm at work so I can't photochop it. I'm 99% sure I'm doing it, today most likely, but would like some photos if anyone has 'em. Thanks!

EDIT: I got bored on my lunch... cell phone photos:









Photos from my DSLR today:

I'll take REAL photos tomorrow with my Nikon. Would've grabbed some today but 99% of the day we were cruising around.

The silver screen looks better... BUUUT a OEM WS6 hood is going to do more good on the car, or at least one that looks OEM and not so blocky.

I think it looks good. I had a suncoast ws6 hood prior to my new hood and although the vents are blocky/squared i always got compliments on how much more aggressive the hood looked vs those with the stock ws6 hood. Even had a few people who werent trained on noticing the differences tell me how mine looked meaner when the car was sitting next to a TA with an oem ws6 hood.

I had my vents painted black but the silver seems to fit your car as your base color is so dark as is. Goes well with the stripes imo

I'm with hollo. Looks good but then it doesn't, at least when it was black you couldn't tell it was so squared, but the silver does look good it's just so square.

I have access to a large supply of OE touch up paint, both spray and pens, but Mopar, not GM. I was just seeing what it looks like. I'm debating either gloss or flat black next go around. Opinions?
