    depends on what you have access to i used rattle can and had good results. like anything prep work and application is key to good results with both products

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    super easy to do. just tap off the wording since its polished from gm. their kit includes new bolts breather grommetts and gaskets. little pricey but look sweet. if you have an air compressor and paint gun you can have the exact same thing as me. if not im sure you can find some spray paint thats pretty close. all up to you. if you dont have access to a gun, ship them to me and ill paint them for ya. i wont charge ya much
