I had mine vinyl wrapped. Looks great and can always be reversed if needed.

No, I went right over the top with the vinyl. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

I want to de-chrome them as well, IND only offer this for cars with keyless entry (not sure why) my dealer said they could probably pick the trim out and repaint it.

Had everything wrapped (handles, side gills and kidneys)as well looks great and has held up perfectly (2 years) other than some rock marks on the kidneys but can just have done again instead of paint chips. I think I paid $300 for everything.

you can take them out.

I have done it. they are stuck on with 3m tape and have little clips at either end.

need to be careful not to snap them off as very delicate.

I removed and sprayed gloss black then over with a clear coat.
