    Cheapest way to do it is having them painted from what I've heard, but if you really want the numbers, let me know, I can get them.

    powerd coating is the way to go. fairly cheap < 50, its just a bitch to remove those chrome pieces.

    Replace them with the sport model is goin to cost $$$. At at least 100 a pop and then paint, just no worth it.

    Colored pigments that are electrically bonded to the metal, then is baked in an oven at 400 F. The pigments melt together.

    Spray paint or paint wont last long on Chrome, the chrome has to be dechromed which will cost aobut the same as powder coating.

    Hey 714, I heard you powdercoated your window trim pieces? Is this true? How did it turn out? If not does anyone know the part number for the sport version (rubber ones) of the window trims on the outside of the car? Mine have turned bronze.
