Body Color or Black Heat Extractor - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Wondering how you guys feel about the OEM heat extractors, and whether you prefer the body color (RRM here) or black option? Has anyone swapped them out and were there any surprises? Thanks!

Go the the flat black will look amazing against the red!

Tarendor · 02-04-2021, 06:41 AM

Unpainted looks great.

Gloss black.... My RJT had gloss black spoiler and front splitter and it looked great!! Now they are CF, and looks even better!! lol

Tarendor · 02-04-2021, 10:13 AM

I liked the unpainted version because it matched my theme.

The real question is, do you want it to stand out in contast or blend in?

GodWentPunk · 02-04-2021, 12:43 PM

Mine is white to match the body and I do l like that more than the black one's I've seen..

joe...

I would say black to match the grille and lower intake and fog surrounds. But body color looks great.

Sell it and get a black Camaro and you can have the best of both worlds. ��

Haha. Thanks, guys - I appreciate you weighing in. I have mixed feelings. Originally, I was happy with the RRM to match the body and it does blend nicely, but as several of you have mentioned, the contrast in black looks great and is tempting. I'm sure the CF is awesome too.

If it's an easy swap, it might make sense to buy another one in black and live with that for a bit.

By the way, Cheap Guy, I agree it's tough to beat a black Camaro when it's clean - beautiful car!

Yah and now it's more easier to sit on your wallet.

I prefer them black and also a black spoiler together on certain colors like red and white. Others just black extractor because the body color ones just blend in too much and don’t have the same pop.

+1 For me spoiler car color difuser,splitter,and both upper and lower grilles matte black. They show stones chips less.

I favor the contrast.
