RE: Headlight Question

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

Supposedly the bowtie plastic things are available from the dealer. Run,
don't walk, to get them as the chrome strips are a structural part of
the front end and you apparently risk the whole thing blowing to bits at
high speed without them. I haven't tried this, but I think Joe Yakubik
may have.

Make sure you get the right size - there are 2 different sizes.
