Default Trim Pieces for Exhaust Cutouts in Bumper

Does anyone have a source for the little trim pieces that go around the cutouts in the rear bumper? Presumably they are supposed to be chromed.. Mine are just bare white plastic now. I'd like to replace them at the same time as all of my new badges, etc.

Good news and bad.
The good, on both my Sport and 100 they are just black plastic.
The bad, whats on the sport probably aren't much better than yours.
Suggestion, paint them with a semigloss paint for plastic, like ColorBond.
My 98 looks to be more of a grey color.
Wondering if there where ever a chrome? Maybe on VP?

Nop, just the same black plastic.
Removing them for repaint is not too difficult, but use some heat resistant stuff, getting hot there.
