I have to add my $.02 on this one. I removed that old fake chrome crap
from my Spit when I bought it (first thing I did to the car, windscreen
and hardtop). I have absolutely no intention to replace it. To my
knowledge it serves no functional purpose, and these cars look better
with the "blacked out" look anyway.
