Also, as long as you clip it lightly it won't scratch off the paint to the base metal. I put the clip on and took it off the first time and touched the area by hand, the painted area was fine.
Thank you! Looks like I'll have to order these. Now I just need to find a vendor to order from.

Thanks again for your reply!
