this is what i was thinking of doing but im soo 50/50 about it
i want it too have a stock look but also i want to give it a Cl'ish type of look...
i want to paint those chrome rings before instalation the same color of my car(metallic black) i was thinking maybe i could pull this off due to the fact my cars black so the rings won't stand out much and give it a stock look.....my dad owns a paint repair shop so i could get ity done professionally..forget the orange part of the light i used some metallic spray paint to get the amber out during day light hours
but im scared it might not turn out how i imagine it....what you guys think?

ive already posted this before but...
this is like the fourth time ive posted this, but DONT BUY THOSE POS 3M TAPE STICK ON RINGS!!! im telling you, they suck, mine blew off and coulda caused a nice ding or scratch on my benz and i was only going 70 mph on the freeway when it happened. two little $70.00 peices of chrome are not worth a few hundred in body work. just think it over before you buy them.

True, but if you use adhesive trim glue it WILL NOT come off, it would break up and would not be of any use to someone who is trying to steal it. I tried to remove mine to test how easy it would come off and I could not get it to move. The one on ebay is the same one that the Japanees company is selling; mine came in the original box. get it and use adhesive trim glue.

350?? thats a huge price for such a minor upgrade though i think it would be a real nice lookin one for sure...
the ones on ebay im still not sure how it would turn out so i 'm a lil nervous spending 70 bucks and not even knowing if it will look good....
