There is a difference, though. What GoWesty sells for $40 is a set of
transparent "stickers" that actually stick onto your headlights
permanently. Once they're on, they're on. (And if you press them on a
little cockeyed or with a wrinkle, that's how they'll stay.) What we
sell for $35 is a pair of separate clear lexan covers that clip to your
grill. This is much like modern cars have, where the headlights sit back
under a protective cover rather than being "naked." The covers sit even
with the grill surface, which looks very sharp, while also protecting
the headlights. Some people buy them just for the cosmetic improvement.
They do not require any screws or modification to the van, so you can
remove them anytime by simply unclipping them.
