    Here are the latest photos for mine. I raised the spikes with black nylon toilet washers and also satin painted all of the Bell license fasteners. (Sorry, I didn't bother to wash her before snapping a few photos). I sent you an email on how to do the spikes and where I got all the parts. Not really a functional mod but I like the look compared to the torx screws.

    Hey Wekilled...

    Do they actually HOLD the cladding on? Are you using double-sided tape as well? Is the cladding TIGHT up against the VX? They LOOK great, but just from the pics and knowing what they are made of, it appears they are not very strong and they will chip/corrode over time and have to be replaced occasionally.

    I like the look, but for me personally, I went with the stainless Robertson Head screw because it will never have to be replaced or touched.

    There are actual metal (furniture) inserts epoxied in place of the cheap plastic body inserts. Then the license plate spikes screw in with a wrench (washers behind them) So no double sided tape. All metal, so stronger than stock.
