i dunno. id take them off and paint them. but ive heard some people on here say theyve had trouble getting them to stay on after theyve been taken off. i guess u'd have to do them over with plastic primer before painting them so that the paint sticks. use that touchup paint if your going to paint it yourself so you can find the right colour code for your car.

i dunno about that sticker. i kinda like it. i was thinking paint over it then pull the sticker off so its there in black. but probably look like shit i dunno lol.

Ah that sucks, thats why i don't want to get my car too low, don't want to scrape or loose anything. Already have a 2.5 system cat back on my car. Booking in for some lukey extractors and a hi-flow cat.

It's a secret, jokes, most people have told me it's because of the choice of brand. I know the dude that's fitting them, so hope i didn't get charged a massive amount, considering i have seen people get whole systems fitted for $1000.
