Montreal, QC Canada | I haven't even figured out how to get them off yet. Messed around with it today and it looks like the side storage area has to come out first. I was thinking of doing mine black.
Anyone have any ideas?

San Antonio, TX | You could paint them the same color as the Vision. My father would call that action "Using disappearing paint." |

Cottage Grove, Mn | I checked in chroming the hand grabs and was told that because they are plastic you can't chrome them the way we think of chrome. They actually use vaporized aluminum similar to the reflector in a flashlight they shine real nice but they aren't very durable.
