^ you're car is incomplete without those on there. The closing of the hood lacks a certain, satisfying thump now.

And so on... 8)

I still have the old ones on there - I could put those back on easily enough - I guess I just have to have the pretty new ones on there. I still think they look good in the baggie though!

ha, that gives me an idea. I'm going to bring all the baggies of new parts I haven't installed to Solvang, and spread them out all over the car. Maybe people won't notice anything else. :lol:

If you are like me, the question is, with all of those baggies, where are you gonna sit?!

I was going to tape them to the body in lieu of a decent paint job. 8)

After months and months of keeping them in a baggie, I put mine on with a small screwdriver a couple of days ago. A mini flathead screwdriver worked wonders. One like this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/largeimages/533357.jpg

I did it, so you all should definitely do it :P
Took all of 5 minutes to put all 4 on! Thanks guys!
