Are There Black Frame Covers?

Bought a set of the chrome covers, and I'm not overly thrilled. They look almost chrome, and more than polished. I'm not going for a show bike, but I had hoped for better results. I also don't want to polish the frame either. Anybody have any ideas or know of different frame cover options....I posted a pic below with the covers.

If you were to paint them, aren't you in the same situation as painting the exposed frame? Easily scratched, etc....?

I didn't want to dismantle my bike to either paint,polish or chrome the frame, thought it would be easier to deal with the frame covers since I want to have a design going from the side covers all the way to the back of the bike where the GSX1300R sign will go.Chrome covers were a lot more than the plain paint able ones at least at the site I went too. Not really worried about scratching them cause them come off real easy an I keep on riding while they in a shop. Bike looks real sharp sorry you not happy with the chrome.
 
go ahead & send em to me i'll give em a nice home ;-)

In the pics it looks good.

I have an 07 which comes with a Black Frame and thought about polishing or the covers for a while. After all thinking was done I stayed with the Black.

Black looks nice......if mine were the same, no problem, but it's the dull aluminum finish.
