i couldn't find them in black just the carbon fiber, but the good news is that the rubber pulls down easy and the lens come off easy too about 5 Min's to scuff them and paint them black

the carbon fiber is made into the plastic. It cannot be peeled off...but it can be painted

I host my pictures on google photos, then use that picture thingy in the bar up /\ there when you post. Yellow sky...mountains..yea. that one.

Just copy the .jpg's url and past in the pop up window and viola.

Or you can host them on cbrforum by using the attachment thing \/ down there in the post reply, not fast reply. but they cannot be monstrously large photos to be hosted on cbr forum.

i use the .97 cent can of black and a .97 cent can of clear from walmart looked great, the trick is to just mist the first couple coats so that the carbon fiber is tacky then you can lay it on and then clear coat it let it dry for 24 hours and install.
if you dont mist the first couple coats it will fish eye and look like crap, you can primer them first which solves this problem if your not for sure about misting a tack coat.
