It's been months since I've seen mine, but those look like what I remember mine looking like. I see that you've got as AWD though, and they're different than RWD.

They look dead identical to mine. They come standard on the V6.

I have only ever seen the ones I linked above (in addition to the more rectangular kind on the AWD).

If any one is interested, I have an extra set that are in brand new condition.

Do you guys think I could somehow paint these white but somehow after get the grill part back to black?

If I could think of a way to do that I may get yours.

$69 was for one. I believe Polaris was suggesting $100 for the pair.

I forgot to make clear that I have the R hump type HL now. My preference are the contoured mesh type, but not in black. I want the HL to be more inconspicuous and color coded to the hood like the 2016/17 cars are now doing with the integrated square louvers. The latest louvers do a far better job of allowing the cars lines speak for themselves and not be visually interrupted with a garish hump or shiny black plastic.

Since my side vents are now white with a black mesh, it only stands to reason that the HL should follow that same theme.

If you look closely at the HL in question, to customize a white louver with a black mesh would be extremely difficult to pull off without having the piece look like it was painted in my garage because of the way the mesh overlaps the base. To simply tape off the mesh part would still leave about a half inch of mesh painted, which would look like crap.

Prolly just not worth the effort at the end of the day. I'm kinda digging how my venting is looking now. Here's a comparison.

See how needlessly busy the black venting is on a white car?
