im not gonna get into that conversation again. some of us are driving autos not because of choice.i changed to the boot because that little silver bracket was getting scratched up.it looks cleaner this way. I am going to do the swap, but im waiting to find a good donor car from the junk yard so it would be cheaper than buying everything separate.

^ nope not true

I have the RS1 CF Front Lip and the VRD Fogs slide in fine - no cutting required

The OEM Front Lip on the other hand requires cutting

I just used a cloth and a screwdriver to take the emblem off, did a very light and quick scuffing of the emblem, couple coats of the flat black, couple coats of the Nite Lites, then used a paint pen (touch up paint) to fill in the lettering with red.

The Nite Lites makes the flat black look a gunmetal type of color in certain lighting, and the reflective flakes in the Nite Lites shimmer at certain angles.
