wheels look nice. Those red side vents and emblems look.....wrong. The car would look much better all black, IMHO.

I like the red but have really been thinking of doing the vents in black or NBM and removing the emblems all together to smooth it out, going for the sleeper look

leave the vents black, shave the emblems. That would be perfection. Too many people just paint stuff and make things look weird, when sometimes things come right from the factory. Just because something can be painted, doesn't mean it should be painted.

You sure can! But, I'd recommend G8 emblems just to be unique

Looks sick with wheel setup. I agree I would paint the vents black and shave the emblem.
