I want to get the nasty chrome off quick but I'm looking for a reasonable price and which would last longer? Has anyone decided to powder coat them? I know someone that uses vinyl but he quoted me $200. Any tips?

Call Garry Romani. Its like 230-240 Shipped. OEM is the way to go. Trust me! (I could be off with the price but its around there.) Good luck!

Is that price for the gloss or the matte black? Thanks for your input Mike.
Oh Sorry wasn't clear. Its for Matte Black. I don't know the pricing of the Glass black. Give Garry and a call and he'll be able to help you no problem.

Why are there 13 pieces vs 8? Weird that it's an odd number. I like the look of glossy black, but am put off by the pricing.
Thanks
Thanks
Any one got Pictures of an Matte Black VS Glossy black?
