1968 Hood vent colors

[BigJim]

What color are the hood vent (where the turn signals mount) screens painted (black or car color)?

 

[stangfan]

Body colour. They should match the paint job. Not sure about the cars that got the hood stripes though.

 

[sam]

grills should be same color as the car

Correct. But I painted my hood T/S grills Argent. I like the contrast and think it looks better. JMHO.

I've seen a couple of cars with the turn signal vents painted the same color as the stripes... personally, I like the look. The specific example I saw was a red car with black stripes and black turn signal vents.

+1 on same color as hood stripes, if applied. Other than that, body color.

Have seen quite a few cars where the insert and grille were chromed. Not my cup of tea, but to each their own.

I did a little bit of photoshop-ing. Original. Black vents. Black vents, black vinyl top...
