I love those mods that are undetectable, only the owner knows what it is unless you point it out...I think it's call subtle.

Thanks all... the pieces on the doors are “melted” on from the factory. Rather than undo them, I left them on the door skin and masked them off.

Paint, btw... not vinyl.

You guys think it’s not “too much”? IMO, I can get by with it but that’s about it... any more and it will too much.
