I think I need these things.

Who here has 'em?

What kind do you have?

How was the install process?

Where'd you get 'em, and how much were they?

Send a PM to xBirdmanx (Bert) he has some.

As far as I can tell, you can either get wraps or replacements, and it seems it's easy to bust the clips if you replace. I'm trying to find out who's had good/bad/indifferent experiences with theirs so I can make a good decision.

You know, I have to admit, there is little to no savings in overall weight (unless you're shaving grams), but I really like how this looks on the Pearl White. Let me know what you find out on breaking the clips.

I didnt deal with any clips, they just stuck on, with double sided sticky tape.

And they've stayed on, with no trouble? If they adhere well, I suspect I'll just go the route of the covers.

I removed the factory tape, cleaned them up well, and put on some extremely high bonding tape, and had no issues, they'll be a pain in the azz trying to get them off if I ever have to take them off for some odd reason.

Just go ahead and buy you some...make it happen!

Same thing happened to birdman on a cruise not too long ago.

eastwest2300 · 01-17-2013, 01:44 PM

Thats because from the factory the double sided tape they use is small, flimsy and cheap.
