Another nice side effect is that the plastic foil is more scratch resistant than paint. And if it gets damaged, you can just replace the foil - it's a taime saver.

So, if you are going for concours, get those pieces out, have them powder coated or whatever, and use Chuck's trick to put them back on. But if you just want them to look better without having to invest a lot of time or money, Jager's offer is pretty good.

I use the lock overlays and really like them.

BTW: THe heat is needed to soften the foil and make it conform to the exact shape of the trim, and stick well to it. The same is true for anything you stick on - including the side moldings, in case you ever have to reglue them with trim tape.

I sent an e-mail directly to Paul but I got no response.
