Welcome, you can paint them, do a search and it will explain it, I did mine from tan to black, but you can now see the tan scratches 4 months later, look around for a set they dont run that much either at a yard or on ebay they gor for around 120 a set, but the yard would be cheaper at least round here I am currently looking for a good set. Also do searches if you have anymore questions, most of them have been answered already and peole around here are pretty **** about repeat questions... not that I blame them, but they can be kinda rude

repeat questions are fun.. its gives me a chance to add one more post to my count .. it would be cheaper to paint ur panels, but IMO ull be happier in the long run / getting a new set.. if u do decide to paint ur panels, get a piece from a boneyard and test it first.. i completly ruined a panel tring to sand it down
