If it were not for that one issue, I'd have gone with 10mm to 15mm spacers on the fronts a long time ago. Right now, I only have the 25mm DRA kit on the backs. Still gots a black bolt car, phew!

Waiting for somebody to make longer black bolts so I can do the fronts too!

You could try to have to bolts sandblasted to dull the chrome, then use a self etching primer, then paint with urethane. It should hold for a while. Or send them to be anodized.
