i know after you take it off, most of the clips break and you can't reuse them.
what kind of glue/sealent should i use to put my trim on?
thanks guys.
edit:
also, what brand and kind of paint should i use for my stock rims? high heat? and what kind of prep? just sanding? fine sanding with 1000 grit? then paint, use some rubbing compound, maybe another coat?

if you just want to go ahead and silicone it, there is this stuff called "automotive silicone" that my friend used to glue his trim pieces on.. so far so good.
painting: there is no need for high-heat paint. just any old spray paint will work. for prepping, first sand with a rough-grit like 100 to get the old paint and rust, etc loosened up. you dont need to sand to bear metal, but just enough to make all the surfaces rough. if you have any rust though i'd go ahead and sand that down to shiny metal. then spray your first coat of paint... let dry for a day or so. then sand with a finer frit like 200, and then apply a second coat of paint. make sure between each sand job that you wash all the dust and such off.
i mean, it's less likely to chip off then just regular metal paint.
unless i use rustoleom black with white trim on the oem rims that came on my wagon. there not the rims with all the small holes, there a different kind.
the cars gonna be black, maybe satin black?
then, black and smoke grey interior.
oh and man, that car didnt have speaker pods, i thought it did! my bad on that one.
that sucks about the speaker pods.
but, for the most part, im going to use high heat because of the brakes. plus the humidity, sun, etc etc. i'm just gonna be on the safe side, thanks boys!
