I did a search and I couldn't find anything.
I agree about the chrome, I'd rather just have black again. CF could be cool, but I don't know how it would look with my paint.
Went by a shop today, they quoted my $60 each, plus labor. So.. about $110 a piece. F that!
I didn't think about a junkyard. I'll have to look into that. Do I just look in the phone book and start calling them? Or is there some wonderful junkyard website I don't know about?

Just chillen..
You have another way of doing it, which I did, it's a quick fix.
Take 1000 Grit Paper, Wet Sand, It will take off the clear coat of the pillars
Take 1500 Grit Paper, Wet Sand, It will start to smooth out the pillar
Take 2000 Grit Paper, Wet Sand, It will finish the smoothing process.
Take Plastic X Liquid, and a buffer, BUFF the damn thing out..
You can modify the steps, if you would like, and even add paint. I didn't paint them yet, but I didn't want to see the clear coat of the old pillars any more. This gives the pillars a smooth black finish ( not a glossy one ). You have a dull reflection of yourself, but it will do for right now. It does look BETTER though overal, but painted will be best.
Only picture I have right now:
