Default Fog Light Garnish Availability

Is there anything available on the market like the Kazz Fog Light Garnish that is a bit more price friendly? Looking to spend less than the 200+40 shipping in the link below

Example

Taba pretty much buys his stuff at retail price then adds a lot to make his profit, pretty weird, but hes successful. I checked Kazz Sports and that piece is discontinued, so gonna be hard to make any deal or find them. When I first got in the scene, I bought everything I have from him and he'll give a deal if you buy out off ebay. He adds to the price to pay for ebay fees. However, I went to his web page and they're the same price, so not sure if he'll budge. But worth the try. As for the high shipping, he air mails everything and you get it in a couple of days. Maybe you can have him send it regular mail or something to save some $$

There's a chrome trim set for foggs, could look at those and maybe wrap them in vinyl, not sure how much of an option painting them to body color would be because of the material they are and how it'd take (or not take) to paint. Also, they aren't going to give off a different shape like the kazz ones do, just make them smaller.

You can paint anything, sanding is key and even better they make adhesion promoter specifically for hard-to-stick-on materials.

As for the chrome ones, its just a trim identical shaped as the fogs and looks a bit retarded. Maybe painting them would make a difference. Nonetheless, I dont see the point to it.
