Hi All,

Cannot understand the resistance to just using 10 mil thick (.010") aluminum flashing and wrapping around the trim ring - like I did. Sure, it needs some work for the Gen III installation, but for Gen II these things look like pie plates, are lite weight, can take a hit from road debri (kinda like a drum top reaction to the impact), are cheap and have proven themselves that they wont come off. I had mine on my car from Dec '07 to the totalling September '10. No problem, other than I did not paint them and they have some corrosion (easily 600 grit wet sanded off and painted over).

In fact, I have 4 for sale off my 2006 (the one that was totalled) if anybody is interested?
