Couple of Questions!

So I have an 07 LT and am currently trying to change the removable billets in the bumper. I have the mesh for it however, I have tried everything I could think of to have it stay in there with no success. SO I just wanted to see what you guys did to secure yours in there?

My next question is, I was tossing around the thought of painting my dash trim. My color scheme is white cobalt and and everything is blue, so I would hence be painting my trim blue. Does this lower the value of the car if I were to try and sell it? if so is it a drastic difference?

Thanks for your help!

Anyone?

Depending if the edges are bent on the mesh, you could use these little "u" clips that look like they have teeth. Something like a tinnerman clip.

It would depend on how good of a job you do and who you sell the car too. Don't see the value going down if you do a good job.
