Used China Glaze #1393 fingernail polish, The Heat Lives On. Used very small paint brushes bought st Hobby Lobby, cut about 1/2 the bristles off. Dabbed the paint in, let it dry, cleaned off the excess with small Xacto type knife, and repeated. Used a hair dryer to speed the drying in the cool garage.
How long it will last, we shall see.

Pulled the fuse for my NPP. Wanted to hear what it sounds from the outside. Inside the cabin it quiet, from the outside has some girth.

Hooray: Sorry about the deer. I assume you changed to all season tires because you live in cold country and wanted to drive it. Did you notice much difference in the tires compared to the M Pilot Super Sports?

It has tabs on back and it easily pops out with trim removal tool. I saw a YouTube video on it. Very simple.
