Performance graphite - it's wheel paint but it works. I guess a mix of I like it painted, and the ford paint was chipping off

Nah. I was thinking of red but probably not. They should blend more than stick out, they are the same color as the rest of that panel.

That color is the same as the 2 tone on the truck (that looks bad and blotchy, but I blame what it was painted over for that), the wheels, and the wheels and door handles on the 11th gen, which all look great if I say so myself. No less pleased with this bezel. Love the color, won't be the last thing I'll use it on

Ahh. I think you should do it on the vents too though. Would look even better, right now they kinda look outa place

I think they look fine. I'll make my final judgement Friday I guess. Have to see it on the truck to really tell but I think if they were graphite it'd be too much without enough breakup. If anything I might do them black, that'll still break it up and go with a few other interior parts

They would look better being the way they are if they had more uniformity to them. But the way they are just kinda sticks out and looks odd IMO.

They kinda do now, yes. But I'm definitely thinking once the bezel is on the vent-colored dash they'll be a nice breakup/accent. If I find myself wrong, well....there's paint.
