Are the clips metal and do theplastic stickers protect the paint very well ?

I installed the shades but never removed them and now no longer own the truck. So, short answer I don't know. Everything looked great when I traded the truck and the appraisal did not reflect any problem. Go for it.

The clips are metal and it's a thicker plastic sticker that is put on first. The clips then slide on the edge of the hood where you put the plastic sticker. I was nervous about sliding the clips on, but from what I can tell all is good. It would be nice if they came up with a different method.

the clips are metal, the rubber stickers have not caused any issues with the paint.

I bought a set and they are made of metal. Will rust quick if not painted right away but look great painted.

No, they are more sophisticated. There are tiny metal clips, plus a two-sided strip that glues on (based on foam). So super nice, super tidy and super professional. I have replaced them once, so nothing is left behind or damages the car.

I couldn't really say, but they seem to be sticking to plastic (except where I pulled it off and reapplied). I really don't think I would put it on a wall though because it is sticky and will probably remove the paint. I would try to find a static cling decal for the wall.

The grid is indeed plastic, but with the right kind of paint, you can make it look like the proper brass grid. I recommend Rustoleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish Gold. :) I used that on mine and it looks great. :)

Mine are metal, plastic on the top of the whip only. I have no problem with paint. Have had it for a while and use it 3 to 5 time a week. I feel it was worth the money.

Yes, the stickers come off pretty easy. Had to use Goof Off for the residue. Overall, I'm happy with the rims.

The body of the clippers is plastic. But it is painted metal color. Some of the paint on ours has worn off. It's pretty heavy duty. My daughter has dropped them a couple of times and they were fine. Plus there is no rusting or corrosion issues. We did have to replace them once when her horse flung her head and the clippers took off flying through the air. We bought another just like it and now have a charger to leave in the barn and one for at home and four batteries to charge insead of two.

No, I don't believe they're metal. Their very light weight and could bend or break however, they stick well to smooth dry surfaces and the finish is very nice on the brushed brass. I'm quite pleased with mine and would definitely order another one.

There is a LOT of detail on the pieces and they fit together really well even without glue (mostly to make it easier to disassemble if needed for painting). You'd still want to paint and apply decals, though. The colored plastic only gets you so far.

The stickers on mine came off easily but slowly, with no residue left behind. They were made of a plastic material and would be unlikely to come off in small pieces.

I haven't had any problems with the clips on these. That doesn't answer the question about the traditional metal clips but since I haven't had a problem with them, I haven't looked.

Yes all metal clips, that are a super tight fit. It could be a bit of a challenge to mount them, so don't try to bump them on with your hands, it took a beating from a rubber mallet to get them seated on my van's wheels. They are really tough, no dents/bends after my beating. They look great and seriously doubt they will come off from a pothole.

The clips are hinged plastic and well made. No, I store them in a plastic drawer organizer---only a few can be stored on the right side as shown

Yes, comes with clips and grease. Not a lot of grease so apply carefully to ensure you have enough to cover.
