all u use is some 3m tape to get em back on but you gotta trim it its easy to paint them thats what i was gonna do but i think debadge looks better its all about personal preference to paint them just buy 1000 grain sand paper lightly scuff them and paint a few coats of course you remove the badges first to do that some goo be gone and fishing line work fine but take your time doing it yes i realize i did that in a weird kinda order oh well its like a code lol |

well i think you could maybe get away with the deflectors...like for a cop to notice the deflectors, they'd have to be accustomed to the KKs and the styling. Honestly the reason i havent gotten pulled over is because they dont know those are suppose to be deflectors lol.. i would VHT them and if worse comes to worse you just remove it to avoid the fine. and VHT is only 10$ but its yoru call bro i don't want you getting fined because "I" think you can get away with it lol..

You may want to find a pin-striper if your thinking about painting them... they tend to have a much steadier hand than I do. I think it would look kinda cool with the background painted the same color of the car. I also debaged my KK the first week I had it... I can't stand waxing around that stuff. |
