      scuff them up with some sandpaper. (if needed)

      then just buy some bumpercoating black paint/black trim spray paint. autozone is a couple bucks a can.

        use SEM trim paint. its more expensive (like $10 for a big can) but it lasts really long. i used it to spray all of my trim (grills, headlight rings, kindeys, air vents by the front windshield, all the window trim)

              Don't tint your lights. If you want smoked lights, they are about $300 for the tails and $450+ for the headlights. You can get them from www.abrahamsmotorsport.com
