I was wondering if it would be a good idea to peel off the rubber around the edges of the one part of the sides and along the top of the rear valences. I figured that it would be kinda hard for the autobody guy to just cover the rubber part and painting over it would cause it to eventually peel and maybe even ruin the paint job on that part. ??

 

good question. i'd like to know too.

 

 

remove the rubber strips. do not paint them, as it will flake/crack.

 

Anyone else?

Mine hasn't flaked or cracked. I did not want the black rubber line along the edges, so I painted it.

 

I masked it off and painted underneath the trim.

Painting them..makes them match the front lip better...trust man..looks way better..and you wont have a problem with it cracking.

 

One side of mine doesnt sit perfectly like the other side.. I took it off and put it back on. It looks perfect in condition and everything but I can't figure out what's wrong. The part that goes into the little slit in the bumper is set out a little bit while the other side hugs the bumper.. Anyone?
