You can paint them. Don't have to buy them.

I've seen them on EverythingG35.com...but they were about $150 for the set or something like that


They are black chrome to be correct, so if you paint them, def go with a transluscent paint so the chrome can shine through. Prob is painting chrome can be a little tricky without the right prep. It's easier to paint flat colors, just sand them down to rough them up and paint...but you'll lose the "black chrome" look, but don't have to worry about the paint chipping off as much if you prep correctly

the difference in look is night and day... you cant spray paint the look that costs 150 (it's black chromed)...

just depends on how refined you want the details of your car to look...

I agree.


If you have some artistic touch you can prob do a very good job and replicate the look, but the average rattle can job is not gonna compare.
