I would love to either paint or change out the silver mirrors, bumpers and grill. All I find is either the same stock grey or crome. Does anybody make black mirrors, bumpers and/or grill? Flat black not cromed black. Is this too much to ask?

I do not know for sure, but I have seen a lot of people that have removed and painted black or even color match and then reinstalled. There are a ton of threads about exterior painting and other mods.

Good luck,

Before I replaced the O.E.M. bompers, I blacked them out with Krylon Fusion,which is supposed to bond with plastic, and the results were mixed. I never had to touch the rears, but the sand/gravel used here in Colorado in the winter took it's toll on the fronts. I was constantly touching them up. I reccomend Dupli-Color spray-on bedliner.Build up 4 to 6 coats and it holds up quite well.
