Default guys w/fender stripes

Those of you that have those hash marks on your front driver's side fender similar to the grand sport, did you have them painted on? or simply purchase such a thing as Eckler's offers? Only like $30 a set. "Peel and stick vinyl." Price is good, how did you guys do it? Is it real simple to get 'em on there right too?

Oh, one more thing, any of you that have like those really common ebroidered floor mats everyone sells, did you purchase the "floor mat protectors" or "rear cargo mat protector"? With these on top of the mats does it still look good? For $40 seems like it'd be worth it to protect your $500 worth of mats, but not if it looks bad.

Mine are painted on. They look good that way. The peel and stick ones don't look that bad though.

Mine are stick-ons. easy to apply, just use a little glass cleaner and a small squeegee. They come with a template to help line them up.

95aquac4...do they show any signs of peeling back off? I'd be afraid of them removing themselves naturally or when I wash the car.

Mine are the peel and stick. They came on the car when I bought it. When I saw the price of them, I decided to leave them right where they were.
