Looks good. Are they replacements or stick ons?

According to the date stamp on the pics, you've been keeping this mod a secret for nearly six and a half years?

The date stamp is the default setting on my camera. I changed out the batteries and didn't bother resetting the time/date.

Thanks for the positive remarks guys. They are stick ons that I had to redo the tape with some better quality material. The double back tape they came with were a joke. Couldn't take the chance of them flying off while hitting the freeway or the superwash. If I grow tired of them, I can simply pull them off. But for now, they stand out really nice and match my rims (as mentioned by Choas)

Its good to be back. I moved into my new house in Feb. and its been a nonstop mayhem fest up until now. Finally can put my feet up for a couple of weeks and enjoy life again.
