    would look better on your car than the bonnet strip cause of the colour of your car.

    it says that its only held on with double sided tape, hope thats strong enough???

    That looks sweet, would look even better if youd paint the plastic grill bar the same colour of your car too.

    i think to paint you would have to cover the honeycomb parts with newspaper and tape it all up, anyone here know if to paint on smooth plastic if you have to rough it up with some fine grit sand paper first?
