Thanks again Applied Plastics! Soory about the crappy photos, I think it looks way better than the chrome it came with ...

Looks great! What was involved in removing them? Time? Price?

Default The S4 was laid up for 3 weeks waiting for a power steering line from Germany ...

.. my car is still under CPO, so it was just sitting at Prestige.

Doing the rails is something I've been wanting to do, but the labor is a huge PIA and I didn't want to have the car down for that long .... so ..

Perfect time to get it done while waiting for the part.

So I had Prestige's body shop R&amp;R them for me ... it wasn't cheap ... about $375 ...

The powder coating was done at Applied Plastics for $160 (I also had them do my 2 bike trays for my Thule) and they got them done in 3 days total.

Totally worth it IMHO ;-)
