I bought the vinyl overlays on ebay.. Cheap, and after a year in Phoenix, no problems.

I have the Defenderworx black billet aluminum ones on mine and love the look. They're expensive but high quality.

Got mine at http://www.chauffeperformance.com/ looks great and was around $10.00. Just a little difficult to get perfect.

I used vinyl on mine. Got the vinyl at my wife's favorite craft store; cost $9 and took me about 20 minutes for both of them. Love the look.

I have the all black out chevy emblem for the front but I prefer the emblem with the chrome around the black, if anybody has those and is willing to trade or buy pm.

400 grit sand paper; 1 can of primer, paint, clear = Appr. $24.00.

Make sure you sand some of that chrome or it will bubble and peels off in a year.

I did mine yesterday.

If you paint them, GarysCustomz does a fantastic job. Give him an idea you may have and i'm sure he'll be able to help you out.
