i depends on which one's you get i guess. i tried to paint mine black and the paint wouldn't stick so i left them chrome. they haven't rusted yet and i've had them for 3-4 years now.

the key type are definately the way to go...i'm very happy with mine.

listen to the tips so far on the install. one trick is going to be that you'll have to bend them so they will be perpendicular w/ the hood. therefore, you'll probably have to bend them forward a little to work the contour of the hood and so the latch will work properly.

also, apply some masking tape all over and around the area you'll be drilling out. this helps to keep the glass from cracking/chipping and spiderwebbing.
