Default Your Opinion on the Lebaron Hood Vents

I'll soon be installing a pair of Lebaron hood vents. My question to you is purely a cosmetic one. Should the vents be the same color as the body (desert tan) or should I paint it flat black? I keep going back & forth. Hearing others' opinions might help me. Thanks!

Yeah, it WOULD add some contrast. The roof rack, bumper, and bumper guard will be in black. The Soft 8's are already black. Then again, the idea of a "stealth" hood vent is appealing, too. Aargh!

I just painted mine semi-gloss black to see how they'll look compared to my red(ish) Jeep. Thought about flat black but decided semi might be better (in my case).
