Just take a black Sharpie and make them look like, who I call, black chrome. And if the weather or wear you just open up that same old Sharpie (that you carry in your saddle bags) and touch them up. Easy Peasy!

Sorry, no pic of it. It did make them blend in way different. Kinda looks more modern. The phtoshop idea sounds good...see what she looks like.

Their really good ones. chrome over brass, so they wont rust.

Hey Fren, how did you safely take out the stock chrome studs? Sure appreciate that knowledge.
