  20. Gloss black bump strips? Help removing the original ones?

    Has anyone ever had this done? Looking to blend it in with the gloss black mirrors and wheels and prefer the bump strip to be a different colour than that of the body as it breaks it up well. Does anyone know if the bump strips are stuck on with some type of glue or do they clip on?
