Default Home Depot :)

They are in the Blk Spray paint section

Seriously if you want the blk rings from a store, check with Stratmosphere, I think Abt sells them and they sell Abt <ul><li><a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com">http://www.stratmosphere.com</a</li></ul>

-Spray with Primer

-Let dry

-Spray with Blk semi gloss

Bought mine from Advanced Motor Sports ($35.00). Painting OEM rings did work for me.

Default The front is clipped on as well, someone that *actually* took one off should chime in but....

for the rear badge,

I have found that dental floss worked back and forth behind the badge will make it come off easy.

Then use a prewax cleaner or Goof Off to remove residue
