Question to you guys with painted lids I was thinking of having my lid sprayed the same color as the car but I was wondering how you guys deal with the two clips that anchor the front of the lid down? I would imagine it would cut into the paint pretty badly...

If you left it alone I would guess that it would cut into the paint. But why not put a small piece of padding either on the clip or on the lid. Or just be real careful when you open it up.
hahaha, that's the same stuff I was thinking of.

Mine is chipped a little were the clips contact the lid. You can't tell unless you get close. Next time I remove the lid I will put something on there like stated above. Wish I would have done it when I first had it painted.

or take some fish tank hose, cut it to 1", or however wide the clips are, slice it down once side and use that.. might be a little thick to fit right though.. I would gladly try it, but i don't have a lid.
