Blacked Out Chrome
I want to have the chrome blacked out on my black CL55. The only credible source I have found for this is Brabus in Los Angeles. They want two weeks and $2,500 to do the job. They take the chrome off, send it out to have it anodized, and then re-install it.
Has anyone else had this done anywhere? Here are some pics from Brabus showing what it looks like.

The cost is because they are anodizing it. I guess iit could be a "better" way to do it, however, I would go to a body shop instead. A good body shop will sand down the chrome, paint it with the correct color, and then clear coat it. It will look just as good.
