steel inserts - NON chrome? I got my front steel inserts from MBA, they are great, they came in a "bright adonized clear" color which is basically brushed aluminum look. However, MBA does not make a matching set for the rear inserts, only chrome and an electropolished chrome with a little grain, which is still too reflective for me.
Does anyone know a place where I can get stainless steel inserts for the rear CAMARO that have a brushed aluminum appearance???? Note - I am not looking for decals!!!!

Who would have thought someone might want the front and rear of their car to match?

They look very shiny to me in their pics, and their description says "highly polished" - and my fronts are not polished. They have a lot of grain in them and are not reflective at all......
thanks!
