I wonder how easy it is to remove the yellow paint if you wanna go back to the OEM look.

Are the signal projectors the same size for the coupes?

^If I had to guess, the yellow paint is probably near-impossible to get off.

More than likely, anything that's strong enough to get it off, is going to take the thin layer of "chrome" with it.

Interesting question on the turn signal projectors. I bet 4DGS would know, he works on a lot of headlights.

don't think the chrome paint will reflect as well as the stock part though

^Exactly. The stock reflector is just as reflective as chrome. It's an actual mirror finish.
