If you used black silicone, good luck getting those bad boys opened. They are hella tough to get open and secure them again. I say sell them, or do a trade and just start fresh

just put it in the oven, open it up, polish it and reseal.. it's not that big of a deal. I bet it will take you 40 mins tops.

I use a heat gun. But yah I dont think it will take long. I dont want to take them both apart so I'm prolly just gonna do the one. The little bit of Crome dont make my car any less murdered.

well I just decided to crack it open. It took all about 30 min to take it apart clean it and put it together. But I'm taking extra time sealing it so it took a little longer in the end but it came out shiney. I'll post pics later.
