I'm going to make a two suggestions and don't dismiss them offhand because both are viable. First, have your existing vents covered in alum appearance vinyl. First, it is cheap and second, if you don't like the look you can remove it. Just look for local shops that do vehicle vinyl wraps.

Second and a much better option, have the existing vents water transfer dipped with an aluminum finish. This is very durable and by comparison cheap. If you don't know, water transfer is the process of covering an item with a vinyl graphic layer dissolved in water and then clear coating it. You can even purchase do it yourself kits for $100, although since you might spend $2600, spending a few hundred to have it done professionally seems logical. Here is one random shop I googled Water-Transfer Hydro-Dipping Printing Services

I have shotgun stocks done in this fashion and they are extremely durable and the final clear coat can be done in gloss or matte depending on your desire.

Anyway.. my .02
