Don't have them, but just read the website jargan. It concerns me a little that they are "friction fit" and plastic, but they look good and they said if you lose one the company will replace it for free.

They look pretty good on the web site, may be a problem reusing them if you have to take them off to do mods or repairs.
They also seem a little expensive to me 187 pieces for $343.23
Would be a good solution for the previous post about rusty fasteners.

I've covered everything with them, but I bought them in onezies-twozies. When you cover a couple of those ugly bolts with them, those ugly bolts really look ugly and it becomes an obsession to hide them all. I use a very small dab of clear RTV to make sure they stay on there, and in those occasions where I've had to take them off to remove something, it's no problem.

I got them. They look great. They suck to take off when you gotta do work and most of the time, they get a little damaged. Also a little pricey for the complete set which is what I got. I prefer chrome bolts in some areas over the toppers but overall, they are good.

BTW...
The friction thing works good. They are on tight and hard to get off. You WILL NOT loose one if you put them on correctly.
