why not pm member JOHN about the process and see if he can help give some insight on how to get that look...
a shop who knows what they're doing should be able to tell by showing them the pic.

I'm into the OEM look, so I voted keep it as is. I think your car looks incredible as it is; sleek, purposeful but still very classy -- the latter mainly because of the hyper silver rims. But hey, thats just my opinion / taste

(Just to totally f' with your head, if you are desperate to mod / change something on your car, why not leave the rims as they are and get the M-sport rear bumper?)

Good luck...
