I also purchased mine off ebay, although I found the small strips of 3M 2-sided tape that were included in the kit to be inadequate and so installed them with clear exterior silicone. After it dries, any slight excess was easy to remove with water.

Could someone purchase red ones and paint them? Absolutely. Mind had some scratches as delivered and I sanded them, sprayed on a few coats of metallic aluminum silver and then a couple of coats of clear coat prior to installation.

Tried searching ebay with no luck. Do you have a link?

Thanks!

I purchased the red ones and removed the red finish with a liquid paint remover. The paint came off very easily exposing the base metal which was polished aluminum. I wanted a brushed finish so I sanded the rings with a 220 grit sandpaper to obtain the desired finish. It worked out great!
