Here are some random shots of the chrome dampers. Just to give you guys an idea, hopefully I can get better pics this weekend.

*Disclaimer* Forgive the quality of the photos, they were from my phone.

What modifications are necessary (to plastic trim, moldings, drilling holes, etc) to mount these?

Any removal or cutting of plastic trim necessary? It doesn't look like it from the pictures, but I haven't looked at this area closely under the hood.

As caskyline said, very minor cutting....there is a template we made for where to cut. A dremel makes it really easy. We can do it if you don't have the tools.

will post some more pics for you later...at work right now

These dampers work well and look great. 3 months so far and no problems. They are quite a bit cheaper than the Tein.
