Make sure you use thicker 3m tape, not sure if 3m primer will help but ut did with my aluminum dash. After it's painted, be careful not to bend it too much...the paint might crack a bit.That's what happened to me. It definitely would look better if it was molded! I think it's okay IMO....whats done is done!!!

If your mugen like eyelids are fiberglass, you will definitely need more than 3m tape. Mine are fiberglass and it was a pain to make it stick where the blinker is. Also, careful with the paint job. Fiberglass tends to be somewhat poress. Thats from my experience! Had to make shop repaint.

The paint/body shop where I got it painted installed it for me. I think he used some liquid enhancer...I guess kind of like crazy glue. Be careful when installing, try not to bent it too much b/c the paint will crack a bit. Use thicker 3m tape
