Painted the SV-2 Vent Adapter and put RTV in the SV-1

I thought it would be better to paint the white vent adapter black, just so you wouldn't see it so much when the vents are open. The instructions suggest that you put some silicone RTV around the swivel opener inside the SV-5 Vent Outlet to prevent air from coming into the cabin around the edges of the swivel. I did this and it worked, but it looks like crap. BUT, wouldn't you know it, there is "better" vent outlet out there. OK, I'll bite. I'm going to order the nicer aluminum vents from Van's.
