Just got my tips from AliExpress. Which was extremely fast shipping. They look great and are nice quality. I’ll be honest I wish they were 4” lol. For the money though I would definitely buy them again, I do recommend getting them.

So instead of cutting the tabs I actually just bent them forward/straight. Used a microfiber towel and rubber mallet to put them on. Just keep checking to make sure they are properly lined up and hammer away. Took 5 minutes

For fear of them moving or rattling? I think once you feel how tight they press on, you'll see there is no need.

I received mine from Ali Express a couple of days ago exactly one week after placing the order. I followed other members here and used pliers to straighten the clips, slid the black tips over the stock ones and hammered them home. However, this mod does not stand out as the other chrome-delete ones - wheels, kidney grills and side gills.

Ordered the Gloss Black Chrome Mode version yesterday. Can't wait for their arrival. I'll ceramic coat them before installation.
