Thanks,

I had them all black (just plastidip since I dont want to paint the stock rims perm) but the wife thought it would look better with the lip stock so I cut and peeled the palstidip off the lips. I dont care for it as much as all black. I think all black makes the car look more planted to the ground - and a little meaner!!! HAHAHA

I have a similar situation that I cant lower the car as I can barely get it in my garage as is, already had to build some rubber "ramps" that sit on the incline of my driveway so it does not high center - there is approx a 40 degree down slope to get into my garage - inner city living at its best!!!

Anyway,

Taped and plastidip'd the first time, did not turn out so well and started to peel so removed for round 2, pretty easy on drivers, not so much on pass as I had to move the washer bottle out of the way after removing inner fender cover. I also found it easier to have the tire removed. I did the following:

- used a heat gun to warm the tape a bit, then used fishing line to "cut" between the strake and the car, they should come off easy after that.
- paint, clean up old glue and cut new double sided tape to fit strakes and re-install.

Lasted over a year so far with no issues.
