This time around I opted to just swap out the actual pieces in hopes of the process being a touch easier but also so the pieces look good over time.

I do agree that the prices on the mirrors and boomerangs was a hard pill to swallow though.
I wouldn't wrap myself. wrap shop down street will do all reflectors for 50 dollars. just a gloss black. and each mirror cap for 50. that way if I need to put it back to stock I don't risk break those clips or having to remove parts.

Anyone's guess on why not?
if you notice, the grille, boomerangs, mirror caps and gills are all gloss black. in stock form, all those pieces are the cerium grey so....

Installed a Focal 10in Subwoofer (enclosed box) and Alpine MVR-V500 AMP. Now I'm going nuts trying to retune everything.....UGH.

Nice! Maybe we should start a thread and collect all the peel-n-stick mods for the benefits of other forum members

Nope, actual steel. They are very attractive in person, and add a little silvery accent to what can be a dark Mocha interior.
