I would think you can use any finish you want, I like that flat look personally

It really wasn't too bad. I looked around and it looked like most people were baking them in the oven. I noticed another person mentioned using a heat gun, so that's what i opted for.

Just heat up and get a corner open, and work your way around. Use a ton of silicone when putting them back together.

I think i might even get some thick heat shrink rubber and put a light coat of silicone on the inside and put it over the edges to create some type of edging.

I suggest the switchback bulbs they are white when the parking lights are on and then the white turns off and the amber flashes when you put the turn signals on.
