have you considered getting all the red stripes colour coded, would look really good with navy blue.

I'm pretty sure AdzELXR had the same problem, and I think he painted his.

My drivers side ones were badly faded and I just went over them with some cut and polish and they came up beautifully. Can't underestimate a bit of elbow grease! I suggest u try the cut and polish before u go spending $$$ on new ones!

i re-sprayed mine, after a minor prep of course, did it on the car, theres enough gap behind them to fit a masking tape layer in , then just newspaper the most part of the side of the car and spray away.. i used Ford monza Red.
