[QUOTE=SweeTbone;10486663]They do look better. So grab a $3 dollar rattle can and spray your stockers. Don't dump any money into an aftermarket part that is on par with or below OEM quality.

I used a Duplicolor Black Sandable Primer on them first. Didn't sand them at all nor was there a need to. This wasn't a "high build" primer or anything, just a regular black primer that could be sanded, if needed, then sprayed it with the Duplicolor red. The exact name of the red is eluding me at the moment, but just pick the brightest one. For a total of like $6 it's a great improvement. You may not even need to prime them, but I figured it would help the paint adhere anyways, so jump the budget up from the previously quoted $3 to $6 for primer and paint instead of just paint.
