Thanks for the reply. I will see if I can find some pictures of the combination, but it sounds promising.

05rex8, that is completely badass. Now I have to rethink my pseudo-decision to not get these. Which finish did you order?

Can the pre-installed screens be easily removed so frame can be painted and then have screens be re-attached ?

you have to make sure the surface is absolutely clean and you are installing on a warm day...if it's cold, the tape doesn't like to stick

what I did:

clean surface with paint thinner on a rag (alcohol works too)
heat up surface with heat gun or hair dryer
heat up tape briefly--gets it super sticky
then apply to surface

auto parts store

get the 3M double sided tape for body moldings only. works the best.
it's dark gray with red plastic on top you peel off.
