    Do you mean the paint? Not really, it's pretty tough stuff
    No it;s just flat black
    No prob!

    All four fenders used up about 1 full can. The can is bigger than usual.

    I like em I guess. I don't have anything to compare them to but hey they helped keep my alignment in spec (unless I knock it out of line on the dirt or sand)

    They look good and stand out though. They worked well with the 5100/OME setup I ran last year. I think you will be happy with it.

    They're cool as fog lights. Bright but not much distance on them, but if I had a rack I would mount some up for light.

    Yup, figured I'd make use of the stock harness. All you gotta do is cut off the light and reconnect the LEDs and whammo!

    I mounted them on what looks to be a OEM support bar that runs under the headlights. It even had holes in it already!:D:D

    Mounting them right to the support bar would make them be tucked up to high so I grabbed an old tie rod bar and cut 1.5" pieces to drop the lights down.
