I'm doing a set right now. I just finished #3 of 4 tonight.

So, here's another vote for doing them yourself. Especially if they don't have to be perfect. I think the hardest part is getting thru the anodizing. After that it's just patience, sanding, and more sanding.

Make sure if you're painting them to use the good 3M Fine Line painters thin tape on the edges. Makes things work out much nicer.

912 huh? Coolio. They'll probably look ok on the car they came with Laughing . What are they, all 5.5"? I was thinking if you put them on your rag, you and Scott's bug would look more like twins despite the make-up. I put earlies on my bug this summer but haven't driven it much lately. I've been busy trying to get the roof on my garage addition before the first snow.

I don't think I'll make it... maybe before the second snow.
