DO they look cheap on the car?
and do you have to take off the black covers already on or does it just fit over them?
thanks

I don't think they are cheap to me. Yes, you will have to take black cover off to replace chrome cover if you are planning to buy that.

There is mine.

Of course, it is easy to put it on. It is same as black lug cover but don't over tight it. The black and chrome can be easy break like dealer's airgun cause damage them. That's reason why I'm switching to chrome when mine was falling apart. If you take this car to dealership or any car service for like tire rotation, brake, or anything to remove the wheels. I would remove chrome lug nut cover to avoid damage in future. I always do that before I drop my car to dealership. They always tell me you have missing 20 lug nut covers. I told them, it is at my place because I don't want your air gun break it. They just like confused and tell me it is "normal" but I don't trust them lol

You'll need a ratchet and a 3/4" socket, thats all the tools you will need.

I would think get real chrome with locking if you planning to get aftermarket wheels. If you are keeping then plastic chrome should good on your car.

About tint tails. I wish I knew but I send mine to "FLIP". Go to www.gpona.com and ask Flip about tint tails. He is master of taillights. wink

Jamie and Palsut: people have there own ways of tinting the tails. 4drgt uses tinted automotive clear and applys 3 coats to give it a nice tint. Most people buy VHT Niteshades and sand paper and clear and tint the tails themselves. They do make an overlay but it is a cheap material In my opinion. House of grafix sells the overlays.

Do u have a picture of how they look?
are they legal?

I bought tint for my headlights and I called a few places and they said it was illegal and they wouldnt put it on for me. I tried but there was to many bubbles. You can tell i only did the reflective part of the taillight.

it is definately illegal to have tinted headlights. That is why the people that have headlight covers take them off at night. Yes it is illegal to have tinted taillights as well but thats why people dont tint them THAT dark. I only have a couple coats of VHT niteshades on mine but im going to have them redone so that they are not dull(i want them to be shiny! lol). You can buy black HOUSING headlights which the housing is black but the lense is clear.
