I think it looks very good with the painted vents and the black roof. Going to paint the vents on my Hood.
BTW fitment issues with the Vorsteiner Hood? Bought mine in the first GB and had no fitment issues whatsoever.

Every Vorsteiner hood that I have seen had prefect fitment also. I would rather them just tell me No more hoods, then to keep stringing me on.

I was under the impression that these fitment issues were a result of extended use/abuse to the mold. So the first many batches were fine but over time the mold began producing hoods that were slightly off in certain areas. Who knows? Could just be a big shovel of BS!
