Door Lock Pins

Can't seem to find any good info out there on replacing the door lock pins. Seems to be some differing opinions out there as to whether both the front door and back door pins can be easily swapped out with better looking metal pins. Has anyone tried to replace their door lock pins and if so can you describe how to get the original pins off? Is it as simple as a counterclockwise twist to remove?

Thanks

There was a thread in the C63 forum with some "AMG" brushed aluminum ones from Taiwan. I think there were $50 shipped.
