i dont think taking the beltline off is really necessary. This mod is super simple. i think we're looking into it a little to hard.
you can buy the strip of black vinyl and you just wrap it on the car over the belt line. its just black vinyl so it comes off really easily and quickly.
takes about 20 min to install. just use your thumb and an exacto knife.
VERY Cool looking! How are they for daily driving? I hate the noise and ride of my stock RFs!
Like the other poster said their only downside is that some people have found them to be on the noisy side. I found that by rotating them more frequently it has minimized that situation. I have put about 40,000 miles on them combined over the past 4 years .
I Plasti-dipped my grill and headlight trim last night
Plasti-dip is my new best friend It was soooo easy to work with, and the pieces were sooooo easy to remove AND replace. Now, I'm looking around the house to see what else I can Plasti-dip

I think it is funny how Mini probably put the chrome accents on the car so it didn't look so plastic-fantastic and fit a retro look... and here we are vinyling, scratching and spray painting, and now Plasti-Dipping.
What can you say? The "black out" looks so much more aggressive!
Looks great Tom, and great photography work too! I too will be plastidipping my grille until i get an M7 one that is. It looks good, now I am excited for mine. The electrical tape ... never saw that before. Did you just heat it up a bit and all that?
