Euro Impact strips for Front Bumper

I am looking for someone who is selling EURO strips for the front bumper that will eliminate the side markers on the side. Currently, I have them painted... but the autobody shop my car is at.. said he'll take care of it for me if i can find it. Thanks in advance!

Also, my flat hood emblem shipped w/o those white little tabs to hold the emblem down. I got them from performanceproducts.com and they didn't include them. Does anyone have an extra set lying around? I would purchase them from you or if you guys can help me figure another way to keep them in place w/o using them... I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks,
Rob

on search I found that the euro impact strips only come w/ the euro license plate indent in it to hold the euro plates. Does anyone offer a strip that is clean all the way around!? Thanks!

you can use double sided foam tape to mount the flat emblem... thats how i have it mounted...

cause i realized that the unperfected edges of the emblem can scratch the finish on the car... with the double sided FOAM tape, the emblem sits slightly above the finish.... no contact = no scratch...

make sure it is the double sided foam tape... i made this suggestion to someone else, and they used regular scotch double sided tape, and the emblem flew off while driving... i guess it was my fault for not being more specific...

I saw that posting, but I'm looking for the euro strips that do not have the Euro Plate holder indented into it. I want it all around clean.

Thanks for the info on the badge!

Thanks,
Rob

You don't want the euro strip, but I believe the one with no plate indent is a different country spec (Asian country I believe). Contact Steve, or just have your friend at the body shop shave them out. :0) - that's what i did.
