| I didn't have any problems installing them, removing them without breaking the tabs might not be the same but so far they are great. |

| I read in other reviews that guys were breaking tabs off when installing or removing the parts. i have found that if the parts are warm, like been out in the sun for a while they install VERY easy, no breakage. Very nice product, fits very well! |

| I read so many reviews about the tabs being weak so I thought right, I'm gonna beat this. But no matter how careful I was, bang, one tab broke. They are worth it because of the look but they've really gotta sort out these tabs ay? 3 stars because of the tabs. |

| bought this about a year ago to replace OEM moldings that had broken tabs. Installing the right side went ok. left side had some fitting problems but after awhile I got it to fit. Had to remove the moldings about a month later and broke off the top tab and one lower side tab. It is now loose after re-installion. Not happy with that. Right broke a side tab when removing for a mech issue. I love the look which still looks nice after a year's use. I think I'll do the double sided tape suggestion I read on this page. 3 stars for the tab problem. |

| 5 stars for the looks, but these are not as strong as the OEM ones, so take alot of care during install and try to do it when its warm. These small tabs will break very easily, and trust me, you will be already frustrated after the 10 minutes it takes you to get them out of the shrink wrap, which is why I give the 4 stars! |

| I bought a set of these a couple of years ago and installed them. I gave a three star rating as the tabs do snap off rather easy in comparison to the stockers. Honda uses ABS plastic but these are more like polystyrene which is more brittle by nature. Anyway, I ended up using a couple of layers of 3M double sided tape to build up the cavity and then put velcro on top of that to hold in position where the tabs had broken off. Works fine and keeps them where they should be. |

| I JUST PUT THESE ON. THESE ARE CHEAPLY MADE, DIFFIDULT TO UN-PACKAGE, EASILY BROKEN (TABS) AND MINE CAME WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS BUT THEY LOOK GREAT. SOMEONE SAID TO START AT THE BOTTOM AND WORK YOUR WAY UP (REMOVAL). TO THE CONTRARY MY MAINTENANCE MANUAL SAYS TO START AT THE TOP AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN; AGAIN I'M TALKING REMOVAL. I BELIEVE STARTING AT THE BOTTOM FOR REMOVAL AND THE TOP FOR INSTALLATION REALLY MAKES MORE SENSE. WOULD I BUY THEM AGAIN? PERHAPS, BECAUSE THEY DO LOOK GOOD BUT THEY CERTAINLY COULD BE A BETTER PRODUCT. |

| I think they fixed the package issue or I just have learned to take my time. I bought a lot of Show Chrome stuff. I first cut the item away from the card board like I'm filleting a fish, and then slowly peel away the plastic. Never a problem... I love the look! The instructions for mounting are very clear. Even the Honda shop manual suggests the same procedure. Starting at the bottom for removal and pinching it to the outside and working your way to the top. Install is the opposite procedure. Mine have been removed and reinstalled 3 times. Once by me, once by Hollister Honda for my K and N, and once by Don the WingNut for springs and bearings. NO problems for any of us. |
