why not wrap them? Like LegacySTi said, you will never get the same colour, i have been told about that as well.

vinyl wrap it instead. works out cheaper and it looks better and lasts longer. it also hides any marks or scratches so it looks like new.

i will get some up later. i may re-do the centre piece around the stereo as i am not 100% happy, but for my first time with vinyl, the results are better than i expected.
