    Peeling off all of the the chrome decals was the very first thing I did when I bought my truck.

    It really annoys me that the factory leaves the trim chrome despite there not being any other chrome pieces on the Off-Road version.

    Paint. It was quite a bit of trial and error, but it finally worked out.

    They simply pop out. Just remove the center cap and you'll see. I only recently discovered it.
