thats awesome, i will be picking some up for myself... will match my chrome "chain" steering wheel mod, my chrome curb feelers, chrome rocker panel trim, and my chrome mudflaps that I put on at a sweet 45 degree angle so they stick out a little....

when i first got my F, i was thinking of adding the OEM body moldings, but it wouldve taken away from the look of the ride. it surely would come in handy when those drivers open their doors just a little wider than normal and accidently knick the door. it just doesnt look right to me, but if you need to take that extra precaution, thats good. but i wouldve gotten a color matched molding to kinda disguise the look of it.

(presuming this is all for real and not a joke)

OK since everybody was against the all chrome moldings, I returned it and got black ones with a little strip of chrome

Is there an easier way besides taking the front bumper off ?

So this was real? To each their own! If I was going to use door strips I would just color match my car with no chrome...you Have black so this should be easy....but if you wanna do some chrome than go for it...its your ride. Do post pics! Who knows it cups look sweet....I (and I'm sure many others) have been wrong before.

That'll probably look much better but it'll still destroy the lines of an IS.
