last i checked around $130 for chrome and $150 for CF. i dont want either since im not goin cf or bling bling. just want normal black ones and im sure i could get it done even cheaper than that. just for those that like to diy things.

oh, well i saw someone sellin them for that much here. lol i figured this is a good diy for guys like me that just make things work. and plus, i dont care to have cf or chrome pieces. maybe if they were sold in plain black id consider. just figurin i could have this all done for around $40-50
