Vintage Air A/C Dash Vents

[Scott2]

I am finally starting to install my VA system. I’ve been searching for tips and info and have learned a lot! For example, if I had done this research earlier I might have routed hoses differently to hide them or integrated the vents into the dash. Oh well, next project or next redo of this one.

So, since I’m using the standard VA dash vent setup that mounts under the dash - I’m debating either leaving it black and hoping it fades away into the carpet in the background, or painting it to match the dash so it looks more integrated and deliberate. Thoughts? Any pics of painted ones?

Thanks!
