Chrome trim replacement options

Hi all,
I'd love to replace the Mr chrome accent pieces. I've looked into buying the GSR replacements but that's roughly 400$ and also got a quote for 200$ to wrap them. Seems kinda pricey to me. Hoping for cheaper suggestions. Thanks

OEM is best, wrap is next, plasit-dip works but is not permanent/needs touch up. Personally, I'd just get some 3M vinyl from ebay and give it a go. The parts are pretty basic shapes so it shouldn't be a terrible DIY job.

Plasti-dip would be second best to wrapping them, just because they're small and simple. 2-3 years before it goes all yucky, when you can peel it off and re-address the situation if needed.

Google Premium Auto Salon in Riverside CA, they sell precut pieces of do-it-yourself wrap to delete chrome. They also have pre-cut wrap for the diamond emblems in many colors, did mine in red and they look awesome.

I checked them out. How hard is it to do the front grille? I'm pretty sure I could handle the windows, just nervous about the front
