Exactly! None... I replaced the cracked and ugly chrome ones on my
wife's '88 with the black ones.  They do come with some type adhesive
already on them and they are a very snug fit. I used a rubber mallet
(Worked great) after I got tired of trying just my fist.  Line them up
and work your way down and they go right on.
