the risk of cracking your windshield and install cost are not worth the fact they will just dull again.

I'll try to polish them, but have been considering just covering them.

come off really easy and there's virtually no chance of cracking your windshield (I'm sure someone could pull it off though) Just paint them, I had mine replaced and I have polished them and they just dull up again...

I hate the fact that these turn dull! I tried some metal polish and it worked pretty well.

Yeah it's textured spray paint, I guess you could say I'm addicted to it now. I just used the same paint to blk out my headlights. As far as taking them off, they are just held on by clips. I did end up bending them a bit so be careful. Pretty self explanatory once you see how they work...
