Colored Pupil Poll - Headlight Air Vent Cap

Green............it fits the theme 🤠.
Actually just call them Air Caps...
Not sure why some don't like the title, but I did add to it just for search purposes.
Black are factory and one had broken hooks so I fixed it with JB Weld and a bolt.
The JB Weld repair is what sparked the idea to make colored ones.
3D printing is awesome! I've made tons of functional parts and tools.
Didn't have green so used red to prove concept and see if it would complement R/T badge.
Red is out due to legalities of emergency vehicle rules.
Then I realized I had a sample coil of green and it's a pretty good match. I like it but ordered some UV Reactive Neon Green to give a try. I'll post juxtaposition photos when it arrives.
For now, here's what the parts look like:

Given the 3 choices, I voted green. Not sure what other colors would go with lime green.

Don't worry about it. When I read it I knew exactly what you were talking about. It took me quite a while of thinking on it to realize that there might be someone out there, I call these types "professional victims", who take an innocuous phrase and search high and low for an alternative meaning that they can be insulted about. It's why people feel a need to watch every word they utter these days.
Need to add a "None" option.

Like it! Looks good!
It's a silky green that shows different hues with different lighting and viewing angles. The above "glowing" shots were with black light. The camera flash also makes it pop. I'm hoping street lights will react similarly. This shot is with no ceiling lights or camera flash, just sunlight through the shop windows. There's also a little Easter egg in this photo that has meaning to just a handful of people.
