Black chrome emblem set:

http://www.g35parts.com/9083/osc/pro...e0f0c1a5c44f84

So are the headlights painted black chrome as well as the grill? What's the price and any warranty on the headlights?

I'm looking into getting the OEM wheels black chromed (not painted but actually chromed).

Be careful w/ black chrome wheels. The finish is very soft and can get easily damaged especially during mounting and balancing if not careful.

Could you elaborate?

I had read that it's not quite as hard a finish as regular chrome but it's still described as durable. Would it still be harder than wet painting the wheels? I had read that it's about 30% more expensive than chrome. The place I'm looking at having a set of OEM 19inch wheels done has a 5 year warranty on their regular chrome wheels and black chrome, which would be a custom order.

I had my '06 Lexus GS430 OEM 18's core changed for a black chrome set from a reputable company and as careful as the shop was the machine that mounts the tires actually chipped of the finish. Also, the finish was so soft that I was wiping dust off of the face (with a microfiber cloth) and it actually scratched the finish. Big headache and very disappointed. Just my experience though.

I had black chrome Racing Harts on my 350 and it was durable.
