Can someone give me recommendations?

So I bought my final edition last week but only noticed the other day that the OEM blackout tape or whatever you want to call it is chipped away. Wondering what my best option would be to fix it (without hurting my paint of course) can’t seem to find OEM tape for sale anywhere! Here’s a pic:

They're definitely vinyl stickers. I have a small scratch in one that makes me a little crazy but I'm going to ignore it unless it gets worse. I'd replace them in pairs as they get kind of dull over time and a new one will stick out pretty badly next to the old.
They are a bit of a pain to remove and apply, they wrap inside the frame and behind that window seal. Might be worth taking them to a shop that does vinyl and having it done.

OEM part numbers below. Should be about $25 online

REAR LEFT 7410A169XA

REAR RIGHT 7410A170XA

FRONT RIGHT 7410A076XA

FRONT LEFT 7410A075XA

Lol welcome to Evo's! At least they are fun to drive and look at from 20yd away. I would just get a black sharpy out but I am lazy and don't care much how my car looks. You fix one chip and then find two more so why bother?

Someone probably got a little too crazy with a pressure washer.
