members have used tint film or spray paint, might be a few threads in the DIY section. And the search bar is always a good source as well....GL

I'd recommend using a spray tint or having a local bodyshop spray it for you.

+1 on having a local body shop spray em for you.... they'll look much better that way.

Go to the shop to either spray them or tint them. I tried to tint them myself and found out it was a pain in the ass. I think the bump is the hardest part
