plastic around the windshield wipers

is there anything that will help bring those backl to the original glory when the truck was new? mine have faded to grey. or would it be better to get a wiper cowl and have it painted to match?

Several of us have painted them with Black Satin Fusion. Looks great and is holding up well so far.

Painting them is the very best solution.

I'm still debating on a smooth wiper cowl, but haven't decided if the price is worth it or not. My current/stock cowl has overspray on it from a recent water tower painting and I really don't feel like trying to remove it. What do you guys think?

If I can find a way to remove the wiper arms, I'll do a write-up for the '97-'03 models.
