Default Air Vent Surrounds

Hey did a search and came up kinda dry....Does anyone know of a vendor who makes Air vent surrounds in our JK colors? I have found black and aluminum on Quadratec but I think I recall (while browsing through pics on this site) interior accents that were the same as the colors of the JK...anyone have any info?

Paint them yourself... that is what I did. Do a search and you will see a couple of write-ups on it...

Painting them yourself is your best bet. The next best option would be water transfer printing or hydrographics. It's the same process that Camp has done to his fenders, etc to have them look like carbon fiber. They float the color or design on water and dip the part through it and it adheres to it. It's then cleared and looks great. I'm pretty sure you could get your vent rings done cheaper than buying those billet ones, but I'd suggest getting yourself a rattle can of your JK's body color and having a go at it. Worst thing that can happen is you don't like the results and you can strip it off and order what you want and you'll only be out 5,10 or 20 bucks in paint (depending on if you have say rescue green, where you'd need to order a can from paintscratch.com or a similiar site).
