Painted front vents

I have a sapphire metallic black M4 and I'm getting red Klassen wheels. I was thinking to add some "red" to the front of the car to balance the red accents. I contemplated making the front lip red, but I'm also thinking it might look nice to paint the air vents on the front bumper red. The ones that are honeycomb-styled. Thoughts? Anyone know of pics of M3s or M4s that have painted theirs? Thanks.

I'm with the others on this one, do not use your front grills as if you were back at day camp making tie dye tee-shirts.
As far as accents go:

DIY vinal wrap over the black on the side view mirrors, this is a cheap and also easy to remove if you don't like them.

Your best bet for the front grill would be to add some red intake charge scoops - https://europeanautosource.com/macht...f8x-m3-m4.html

Change your entire interior to SO, and run 40% or higher tints.

Color matching parts of the car to match wheels has always been very ricey to me...I'd agree with everyone else and say please don't.

But if you want you can give us all the big middle finger and do it anyway because at the end of the day it's your car! lol
