Naw I don't feel bad. Excuse my bad grammar
"...where I WOULD have had to destroy the trims...BUT I didn't...they are still intact.

Too bad you were unlucky trimming them. It is a PITA to shape them equally and without scratches. It takes a lot of time to find the perfect fit. I was wandering around the car like Nakai-san, checking the looks from ALL possible angles, while trimming them carefully down.
I am happy with the outcome, at least equally elegant and less chrome right in your eye.

The new concept with the stripe design is to avoid bigger contrast to keep balance. Therefore I gonna paint my roll-bar covers in a more subtle color, like e.g. gun metallic.

I've got the ring too big. I think it needs to be more like the PhotoShop.
