Strip them down and pain them yourself. Seriously, it's not that hard. Strip off old paint, spray on couple of coats of primer, spray on a couple of coats of high heat paint and maybe some clear. It's not rocket science and you'll have fun doing it.

You can also paint them yourself - I did mine using Folia Tec caliper paint and they still looked good after 6+ years (sold the car).

Previous owner painted them and didnt do the best job.
Would actually like to go after a bit of a different color too then just the red or black
