Default Vents on a EG 2/3dr front bumper, painted or unpainted. Pic request

I had a black 2/3dr EG front bumper painted silver to put it on my 4dr EG.
The bumper had the outer vents painted and the inner vent unpainted.
I had the painter paint al vents so I can paint them black if I like.
But I'm not sure if I should paint all 3 vents, only the outer vents or none at all.
An unpainted VIS RS lip is going under the bumper, i've got unpainted EK skirts and unpainted doormoldings on my 4dr.

Post up some pics/opinions/links to other threads on this subject please.

It's just personal opinion, but I HATE the front grill painted. I prefer it black. The outside ones I like black also, but if they're painted, it doesn't stand out as much, since the 94-95's come painted.
