    Not to bad. Still like the look without them but if you need them where you live, I understand having them on.

    I also have RPI's. They are very stealthy and most of the time you don't even notice them. I didn't install them normally as i didn't want to do any drilling to expose bare metal. I used existing screws where I could but used double sided automotive tape by 3M which is available on line, where I would have had to drill. I've had them on for almost 2 years and I power wash the car without a problem. I know some previous owners may have had a problem with them cause they are so thin and have turned grey instead of staying black but I use Back to Black on them and they are fine.

    It looks like those use the plastic rivets that are already there, I like that. Do they seem sturdy enough for an everyday driver?

    That's what I would have done, but there have been some issues with the tape line showing after it gets dirty over time. Might be the older versions now, but I remember seeing it on some cars/trucks in the past.

    Yeah, but I still have to wash it if the dirt is showing. I want to keep stuff from getting on the car in the first place.
