I did fog some black on them, but I think I kept the sticker clean?

Should be able to tell even before you get the shocks on. The front section of the leave spring was deformed in an S shape right from the start and I spend several hours trying to get the bottom shock mount on. I though it was an issue with the Bilstein's I was swapping on at the same time. Later on I figured out that the shock pin was like 20 degrees different from the upper mount. It was horrible.
