Added some of the stuff I bought...

Well I had some time and I added the door cups, the tail light rings, the vent shades and the fog light lens protectors.

The door cups didn't have a sheet in them explaining that there was a left and right side, and they all looked the same, so my friend Murphy was helping me and of course after I put on both left sides on the right (or vice Versa) I noticed the notation on the remaining cups and then pulled one off to see and sure enough (oops! wrong side..) Anyway switched them and still not sure I like the fit.
The tail light rings went on ok as I knew that there were 4 unique pieces. I did reposition one of them and I also notice on the right side backup light that there is a gap between the lens and the body even before adding the ring. (Only if you look close but it is only on the right side.. You can see some white plastic..)
The vent shades seem ok (although my wife already said they block her limited view). I thought it was strange that where the 3M tape mates up to is kind of a fuzzy area (as opposed to paint), but the window should hold them in place. I've had others that had funky metal clips but these should be find. The ones that go on the outside will eventually come loose (as on my Ranger) and end up vibrating (which I hate.)

The the Lamin-x lens protectors.. I don't know if anyone has gotten up close and personal with their factory fog lights, but they are round but the bumper cuts into the round part leaving a very little gap between the bumper and the lens. The lens protectors are sticky once the paper backing is removed and it was a little tricky getting the top round edge under (behind) the bumper. I got it done and have attached a picture. I have these on two of my vehicles now and so far I like them. Not only do they offer some protection, but they allow you to change the color (a few choices) and make your ride unique.

Take care..

Thanks for posting the info about the lamin-x. I've been debating weather to do all the lights up front for a while now.
