Default There are mounting pins, you can replace them with the S4 mouldings

All thepieces are $500-550 though.

You can cut off the mountings pins, and put on a cover strip thats like $30 plus cost to paint.

Default Can you explain more about the cover stip? How do I take the stips off? Would it look weird?....

Would it be easy to take off the stips, so that I can see what you are talking about?

Default its fairly easy to take the rubber strips off

There's 1 screw and then they pull off sideways down the door (not towards you if you were facing the door).

Once htey are off there are little metal mounting pins staring at you. To use anything except OEM S4 parts would mean that you cut the pins off (dremel for example) sand smooth and then prime it (for rust proof.

They they make these stick on molding strips that you paint and go right over that area where you snaded the pins. Look at Steve@Motorpersona or markbradfords PP, they both did the same thing.

LLtek sells prepainted strips for $200.

I believe they sells them $44 for unpainted, and charge another $66 if you have them painted for you. So, $110 ish total + s/h.

Tho, not that I recommend using that, I preferred just painting the stock rubbers =p.
