Default Easy to do! For the front at least!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/rings.1.jpg"></center><p>I don't know of anyone selling them, but it's so easy to do that I wouldn't bother buying them if they are available. Just remove the rings on front (haven't tried the back one's yet) and give them a light sanding with wet 400 then 600 grade sandpaper (you can possibly skip this step, but I suspect you get better bonding if the surface is slightly rough). Clean the rings well and spray with a few light coats of a good trim paint (I used three coats of flat black). The results look like a factory finish and so far it has been durable. You could also try a translucent black paint (candy apple black) over the unsanded chrome as I tried this and it gave a nice black chrome effect. The front rings have clips that release when compressed and the rings just snap back into place when you are done

You have to sand the chrome, else paint will not adhere, and will flake off over time!
