How about painting the roll-bars? Is it doable at a local shop and how complicated would that be? Would (could) they have to be taken out, as well?

Z.

Z, a local shop could paint the vents, but the quality and price at bumperplugs is very equitable, IMHO. I think it is about $175. Perfect paint match too. I have gotten quotes from local paint shops for $75 per vent. Another benefit with Bumperplugs is the core exchange policy. Therefore, you are never without the vents! Take out the current vents, pop in the painted vents, and then send back the original vents for the core exchange. Done in about 20 minutes.

The Roll Bar is a very different issue. It should come out, but I have seen posts on other boards that did them in place. This is a great example how a factory installed option ($535) is far cheaper than aftermarket.
