Painting the air ducts

So I was randomly searching google images on how the yellow DRL’s look on Toronto Red as I’m still undecided if I want to make that switch.

Then I saw something interesting, which I’ve never thought of doing—Painting the air ducts to match the body color of the car.

Anyone here has done that? I don’t know but for some reason I like the look of it. Pics attached—Thoughts? Yay or nay?

I actually dont hate it. It might flow well with all of the lower trim painted too - forego all carbon for paint matched pieces.

Yea, I think I like it. I think it will work for colors like red.

I've considered doing this on my IOMG M3c (which is still rocking its honeycomb). It looks good with TR, but I'm still not sold that it would looks good with IOMG.
