Done in 5 min. Simple. Looks good, you only see it if your right in front of it but that’s good not too loud lol.

Worth $16 probably not much more though
Looks really good. Might do the same thing! It seems like it’s muted a bit in different angles and not standing out all the time.

Several forum members use an automotive wrap from vvivid to wrap the cross bars. A bit more work but it apparently keeps the finish a bit better / longer before it starts to dull over.

Just pony up and spend the $2500 that it requires and then admire the sweet sound.

How did you install? Did you need to pull the grill? Also, can you post the link to the red covers again?

yes, it was really easy, literally 5 minutes total. the grill comes off very easy, just push in the 6 or 7 clips at the top and then pull the grill out completely. I tried to do it without removing completely (the bottom too) but you have to apply a little pressure and it's much easier with grill off... Once you remove those top clips though, the bottom ones just come out by pulling the grill

I’m getting mine today! Are they a bright red of more of the same color as our calipers?

I didn’t even really check honestly and they are behind the grill so you don’t really ever seen them and the calipers together if you know what I mean.
