Hi D-kid thanks for posting and it’s all about resolving the struggle of the fake vent. Aesthetically, IMO without cutting but reducing the massive black surrounding could look cleaner and less distracting. First read below, but I say go for it but with a different auto-body shop. It should only be around $100 to spray trim and if you don’t like simply rebuy and sell painted. For around $100 it less stressful and more fun.Since this thread is for those who struggle with the fake vent black hole look, I'm wondering what you think of painting the black trim to match the factory color like in the Photoshopped image? This is for a hatchback. I saw a four door Si the other day and noticed it didn't have the odd black piece connecting the two vents. It made me think of painting the trim surrounding the vents and the connecting part. I received a quote of $400 to remove the bumper and parts to get a professional quality (not just taping off the parts and spraying). Thoughts?

Since it’s all trim it all pops off! Don’t go to that auto-body shop they’re trying to rip you off! Don’t take the bumper off! Just pop the trimming off walk into multiple auto-body shops with trim. Ask them for a price to just spray this trim the same color as your car. It shouldn’t be anymore than $75 - $125 and then just pop back yourself. I’ve had my ENTIRE rear bumpers sanded resprayed (not just trim) with customization from $250-400.
