Are the louvers on the CIPs the same color as the vehicle or are they more of an off white color. I have seen images of both and I just want to clarify which way to go. Thanks!

I've seen pics of OD and desert tan painted CIPs. I've also seen another post on Armorama showing CIPs painted OD or had green 100-mile an hour tape on alternating louvrers. I don't remember seeing any CIPs painted white, but I'm not saying there aren't/weren't any...

Thanks Jim, This is a nice short and precise addition to the site. One that I missed due to its age.

You may be thinking white because of the ones seen on Challengers. I've seen US panels in green, sand, and also brown. Usually they've been the same color as the vehicle, but from some reason all of 3ACR's M1A2's had them in brown.
