I just repainted mine, due to tie factor, but I was contemplating on painting them black, and polishing just the lip. Couldn't figure how i'd do it though.
IWASHMYAR, hey man can I see a side shot of your car with those painted ponies? That's hot man.. That's exactly what I wanted to do with a set- but I can't seem to find a set under $400! Anyways, I would love to see more shots of them. They look great.
