I don't think they come in black. I wrapped the ones on my C63 in black vinyl. Real paint is also an option.

On the car. Inserted a trim tool to keep the handle in the open position while I worked on it.

I agree with above. Paint is an option. I wrap vinyl so I am doing mine.

If you do vinyl...buy good material. It will wear better and be easier to install. It will also come off easier when you want a change. Removing cheap vinyl and the adhesive is the worst part. I like Oracal or 3M. Some like Avery...but their lower lines are crap IMO. I prefer 651 as a baseline for Oracal and 1080 for 3M.

If you want to wrap the entire car...that is a different material as well.
