Well I cant speak for the rest but for me no especially since I wont have my parts put in. The cruise would have been perfect to break them in though.

Just picked up a rear trunk lip. Just seeing if anyone one knows the proper way to clean the truck before putting it on and knows how to put it on? Searched it on AZ but couldn't find anything.

Mine just has the double sided tape. Didn't really want one with bolts. 3m tape alone should be strong enough to hold. I don't want to drill into my trunk. I just need some help with it so I don't mess up lol.

The only bad thing about those is that people steal them but you should be good there hasnt been any situations like that around here. Well not that I know of.
