You bastard!
YOU SHOULD TELL PPL THAT THEY SHOULD USE LOW TACK TAPE OR IT WILL PULL THE CHROME OFF! You can make your own with normal tape by dragging it across your jeans or a material of some sort. I tested my theory and if you dont de tack the tape it will pull the chrome off and look like ***.
Then I did it!
I got one of my 88-89 ones i dont need and took it apart, did black housing. Then, I put it back together with just the clips. didnt like it. I decided to spray jdm in a can on the chrome and it is like yellow gold colour with the black housing. Mad pimpin.
