Vortex Generator

I am trying to get the Vortex Generator for my 03 Tarmac Evo. My question do the Vortex Generator get painted to match the color of the car or are they all the same color (Eisen gray)?

The IX's VG is color matched. The VIII MR's VG is not.

All the VGs I've seen looked like they were plastic.

Either way, you still CAN paint them to match if you wanted too...shouldn't cost that much (Less than $100 I'd think). I had the two side vents on my old Rx7 painted by a local shop and he only charged $60. It'll vary between every shop, but I'd say the amount of material there is about the same as with the VG (as far as amount of paint needed and labor time)
