Default Upper / Lower Rocker Box
Anyone on here ever had their Upper / Lower Rocker Boxes changed? Mine are chrome on my 2018 Breakout and I want to Black it out. How much work or about how much would dealer charge to replace them?

Find a power coater and R/R your self. Easy to do but if you are uncomfortable doing it, get the service manual, read and follow instructions. Paying a dealer to R/R and paying for new parts is crazy.

I agree. Get your service manual and diy. It is really easy to do if you have if you have just a little knowledge.....
