This just adds that little bit of extra touch of coolness and
shininess. have you ever wondered why some cars just look high
quality and others look cheep? Take a note, it's usually the
chrome around the windows and stuff that makes it look extra
nice. Like a benz should!
What you will need:
-Drill with small bits. ( I broke THREE doing this...)
- 3-6 Good clamps with rubber/plastic ends.
1. Wash your car, especially in the wheel wells. (If I had
some, I'd also paint the entire inner wheel wells with Chassis
Saver, so it will not rust.) Also it makes your car look
better having the underside black like that.
2. Break (loosen) the lugs on one wheel, and then jack the
car up, put your jack stands up, and then take off your wheel.
You kit should come with instructions, and they may vary, but
this is how I did it. (My instructions were auf deutsche!)
3. Put the rubber strip on the inner side of the trim.
4. Hold up to the wheel, I had to bend mine quite a bit to
get it to fit right. Then clamp the very top one, and work your
way down.
You want to make sure it's tight and on there. NOTHING should
move once you start drilling. I wish I had more clamps when
I was doing this.
5. Now CAREFULLY, and SLOWLY drill into the trim and the car.
The fender has a sort of a lip. Let this artists rendering try
to describe how I broke three cheap drill bits.
Hopefully you will drill a lot better than I did. Anyways,
(isn't the internet great, not only do I mess up thrice,
I willingly publish it across the world!)
So drill all the required holes, and screw in the screws with
washers, and you should have the finished product:
Okay, now with the before & after shots
& glamour shots.
They sure look nice! As-always, click to enlarge.
