Default chrome covers question
Anyone ever see or install those chrome primary covers on ebay? The ones that just go over your existing covers. Can you tell that they are just add ons or do they look ok?

They look crappy IMO and moisture and dirt gets trapped under the covers.

Check my sig and gallery. I have them on now. About three months after I put them on I took them off to see what the backside looked like and it was fine. I am actually going to take them back off permanently because I'm trying to achieve a more blacked out look.
