Default chrome surrounds

Does anyone know where I can find a chrome surround for my rear third brake light? I've seen them in online advertisements for other accessories, but I can't find the third brake light surround anywhere.

I'm also looking for chrome surrounds for the front bumper turn signals - and rear bumper reverse lights - for a 2008 NB.

My objective is to create a very sophisticated look for the car through restrained use of chrome pieces. Door handles, mirror caps, headlight and tail light surrounds, and the side window chrome trim (minus the garish B-pillar pieces), combined with surrounds for the bumper lights, would really make my blue NB stand out without resorting to pricey body kits. I've also made my peace with simply getting LED bulbs for the tail lights and indicators, and bright HID-like bulbs for the OEM projector headlights, in order to reduce costs.

Throw on four Borbet 18" wheels with Continental tires, new roll bars and engine bay brace, along with a few choice interior modifications, and I think the car would look and drive like a dream.

I'm a relative newbie to the NB modding world, and I rely on your sage counsel. I've also had a tough time finding accessories for my 2008. Thanks!

Do a search on Ebay for "Beetle Brake light". I was actually looking for an LED third brake light, and I came across the surrounds that you are looking for.
