    dealer touch up paint immediately to protect the rest of it, but it won't look factory unless you are a wizard with a brush


    then if it bugs you, it can be professionally redone anytime. but at least get
    a dollop of touch up paint smeared in

    No it is not safe to assume.:rofl:
    I traced the outline out of 1/8" ABS plastic and trimmed to fit. Then Glued them together and painted.

    Maybe..
    But I only needed 1 set. I hate the stupid fake plastic grill/filler plate under the head light. Now with it smooth and color matched, it will make the lines of the light stand out more.
