+1 on the rings, but you might be able to paint yourself using "matched" paint from somewhere like
www.paintscratch.com
. That is what I just did and the rings look pretty dang close - not perfect, but almost.My car is Ruby Red. It will be a difference of about $65 for the paintscratch, vs. about $250-300 here locally at a paint shop.
As a sidenote, I had to have the paint mixed twice from paintscratch, but it seems to be a common occurrence where the 2nd batch is spot on....
I attached some pics for you to get an idea of the paint match. Keep in mind I have not buffed it out yet. Also, the first pic is with the ring in satin black from factory. Not the best pic for comparison, but maybe it will give you some idea.
