There are big on the B2B stuff, so they would advertise everything in bulk.

I have one right around the corner from me who does the same thing, however, I walk in and grab what I need (usually one or two things) and they don't really say anything to me. Show them the type of clip you are looking for, and they should be able to direct you where they are in the store.

thought i keep you guys updated. its been raining lately so i couldn't really do any painting. but looks like think will clear up tomorrow so 85% chance that i should be painting everything tomorrow and installing them back on friday, keep a look out then with pics.

also, the headlights i ordered will be coming in tomorrow and i ordered 4300K bi-xenon HID's plug n play kit as well and those will be coming in on friday. The headlights got to be sealed up when i get them and should be installed on friday or over the weekend. The HID's will go in maybe on tuesday when i can get my headlights adjusted to have them aimed lower to the ground. so keep an eye out for updates then

the color seems to be a bit off in the picture, looks better in person. That and my car needs a wash so the paint is a bit darker. waiting for a week then i'm going to polish and wax them.

can't wait to get them all back on. and about the door handles being painted on the car, i've tried removing them and couldnt get them off after 30 minutes of attempt so just decided to paint them while they are on the car. they didn't come out as bad as i thought they would. more close up pics tomorrow.

Epic tape dude. I used newspaper.

My paint was a little off too. I think it has to do with the amount of clear coat you put on and how well you polish the clear to a glossy shine.

its also because your paint is older than the paint used, so thats probably one of the reasons why its a little off, i rather it be a little off than be completely off shade.

I couldn't get my handles off either when I tried. I managed to do complete suspension overhauls and head work, but a door handle beat me lol.
