I'm sure it would adhere to the molding, so I don't see why it wouldn't hold up.... Painting it still your best option

Thanks! I think it does too.

If these pull off so easy what would the cost difference be if you just got the parts from a dealer that are pre-painted vs having the stock black painted?

caverman · 07-21-2010, 07:56 PM

Good idea. Probably cost just about the same. I wonder if you can get them from GMPartsDirect?

Good point, though many people like "Doing it themselves", which gives them a little more pride in modding his/her car. I could've painted them, but my buddy, who has a paint shop, painted both for 50 bux, so I'm not sure if you could get them for that cheap....
If you have a non-RS, you'd obviously have to get the RS painted ditch molding...
But it's a good alternative....

I looked in to that, but they don't come pre-painted, and the dealer is probably gonna charge an arm and a leg just to paint them.

The Chevy dealer I bought from painted mine for $72

Days75 · 07-21-2010, 10:00 PM

Ah thanks, Maybe someone like Gary can start selling some of these painted. I understand the DIY thing, the first time I put on an intake on a 06 eclipse I was so proud and bragged for days about it!

Anybody do it themselves? Trying to paint it myself and was wondering what the exact steps and tools I would need
