Default Black plastic options?

Has anyone replaced or know of other options to replace that f'd up black plastic that they use to insert in the front and rear bumpers, the mirrors and the wiper area? It starts to fade after a while and Fade To Black doesn't seem to work anymore on it.I found mirrors that can be painted to color, but am having no luckin the other three areas. I want to keep the chrome bumpers. I'm not goin' for the roll pan look.

you can paint your door handles and mirrors. i have my painted. ive seen the lower valance on the bumper painted. ive also seen the cups for the foglights painted. ive never seen the rear bumper step painted though...i would think using it would wear away the paint. look around for new parts.

have you used meguiars back to black? that stuff works GREAT!

I don't know why I posted "Fade to Black"(must be the drugs[sm=drooldude.gif]and Metallica [sm=icon_rock.gif]). I meant "Back to Black". Anyway, I would prefer to get rid of the plastic all-together. I have chromed all the door handles. New question, to those who have painted that sh#t: How long is THAT lasting? I guess if you do it right and take care of it, it would suffice. Thanks for your input.
