C350 - Saks Special Edition
Black Chrome

I have a Saks C350 and want change the cheesy looking chrome trim and emblems to black chrome. Has anyone does this and if so, can it be painted or replaced?

I was thinking of doing the same, for the same reasons.
I did a little research, and the shops around here (SF Bay) say around $500 for the wheels, so I imagine the trims should be cheaper to do than that.
And yes, I believe they can be painted over. I don't see why not.

Black chrome's the way to go. Please post pics if you go ahead with your plans. It'd help me immeasurably. Thanks.
