They look like after market tips.

On the reverse lights, yes, wet. Spray bottle with tap water. Used a little mini rubber squeege to push the air bubbles out. Very simple mod.

On the front bow tie, used the same blue film. Did it with a heat gun. Removed the bow tie. Clamped it in a vise. Heated and stretched the film over it. Then used a fresh X-acto knife to trim away excess film. I had to dick around with it for over an hour to get the film on there - LOL!

Yes. Just pulled the bezels off. Sorry no more pics. I put the bezels back on a few weeks ago. Got tired of looking at that gap. Others here have pushed black rubber body moulding material into that gap to give it a more finished look. I may do that some day too ?

Your mods look great

Your Summit White car looks awesome. Love that color.

The tips are the ones that come in the GFX kit. The dealership cut off the original tips and welded these on when they did the GFX install.

This must be why I'm having trouble with mine rattling. I cut nothing when installing because the factory tip fit into the bezel and the trim ring provided in the kit was too small in diameter. Next time I have the butt end off, I think I'll trim them back an inch or so. ALSO, my kit was from a V6, so there must be a difference in the install kit for a V8. The generic instruction DID NOT address this
