Nice!

What did you use to attach them to the hoodliner plugs?

Peace

They look good. Put these on my car and my son's car about 2 weeks ago. Had to go to 3 different stores to get a complete set for the 2 cars. Willfulone, the disks have prongs that fit around the hoodliner plugs once the plugs are trimmed a little.
