You paint them. Little tricky to remove from what I've heard (haven't done them myself) but apparently after a bit of work they just pop right out. Just soak in hot H2O, then wash with a mild soap and rinse to remove any buildup and paint away. Sould probably do a few coats and a final clear coat.

Curious as to what color your car is and what color you want to paint them. Some combos look badass (Bright Red exterior with silver vents, Navy Blue Metallic exterior with white vents) and some are just lame (Pewter MEtallic with orange) IMO.

Take off the splash shield and reach behind to take them off. It's not that hard, just be careful or you can break the clips it uses to stay in.
