You know I really think Honda should have made the side covers the same color as the bike's tank and fenders...

I have already talked to a local auto body shop who said they could easily paint them to match the same finish as the tank for $200.00...

I would have to get the paint from Honda though..

What do you guyz think?

Worth the 2 bills plus paint??

It costs about $200 to get the chrome ones... I'd rather
have blue ones than chrome ones...

It would probably look fine since lots of motorcycles do that from the factory.  I like having a generic plastic one but my bike is black so it's not really noticeable.

Here is "no EPA" Mississippi a "paint kit" which includes base, clear, reducer, and activator is around $100 with enough paint to paint an entire bike.
