AC Vents -- changed from SILVER to BLACK

At first, I thought I'd just buy a set of Lariat (chrome ring with silver/satin face) AC vents to change out the two in the back of my flow-thru console. I bought a set from another forum member, but the ones I received (communication error) were chrome with the black face. Come to find out that the vents in the back seat are SMALLER than those in the front seat. Whoops! Anyway, after holding the black ones up to my Lariat tan interior dash, I thought "those might look pretty good!" With my truck, the general rule has been "the more black the better." So, I have replaced the silver/satin faced vents with black (picture below). <classified ad removed>

Kind of a before-n-after:

So, I have replaced the silver/satin faced vents with black (picture below). My stock Lariat chrome/silver set is now up on ebay (#8014116334). Oh, other newer mods are the black headlights with clear corners, new custom 3rd brake light decal, and a custom "Longhorn Edition" billet badge.

Does anybody know if the dash vents will swap out with ones in the rear of the flow through console? I think they would look much better than those solid black ones.

I think it'd be advantageous for you to go back up and READ GordoPanocho's whole post.

Looks good. I think the black looks better on your dash. I was thinking about changing to the satin finish, but now I think I'll just leave it alone.
