its a case of polishing up the standard ones, very time consuming

Take it off, sand it down, using higher grit sandpaper as you go, then once its real smooth get some metal polish such as autosol on there and polish it up.

Could always just get them chromed, although that will cost alot more than just buying some sandpaper:mental:
