Nein.

I've looked in the past and no luck. Maybe in the future someone will manufacture a batch.

I just read on CLub GP that intense is going to be coming out with them. Scott didn't say how soon. I also read that couple guys bondo'ed the groves in it, sanded it smooth/flush and painted them. Those that saw them in person liked them

Mos that PlastiKote Bumper chrome spray paint, is what I bought to mist my amber bulbs for my new clear tail lights. good stuff.

I don't think GNX covers will fit or some GP members would have them already. So far I think the only option is custom, untill Intense releases what they've got up their sleeve
