I saw on the news about all the flooding going on over there. I hope you and your family are doing okay?

Hey Woody, we're good here! Thank you.
Yup, they really had bad flooding in the western region of Germany.
Luckily, I live up North next to the Elbe river, and floodings were pretty common here. 10 years ago, authotities pushed hard to get our dikes and wetlands future proof, so it will need a tsunami to break them. But you never know.

Hi Bran, when you bought your headlight covers did you paint the ring silver or did the company that you bought them from? Wondering what color that is. Thanks

Hi JB,

a few years ago, I had to pick a silver color for my side air intakes at my local paintshop, so I picked a pretty basic silver out of the middle of their 50 different shades of silver color palette.
Not sure what color coding that was, but that is the color I told them to use for the trim rings. It is a pretty basic (metallic) silver, if that helps

Thanks for the input. The seller recommends Artic silver. I immediately ordered a can and when I got it it was bad. 🙄
Went and bought some duplicolor silver and this is what it is. Looks OK I guess.
Not installed just laying on them.
