a little rough around the edges, seeing as they were unfinshed, but will look tops with a coat of silver to make them pretty

02-KQ-LASR · 05-06-2009, 05:27 PM

would they look crap just put straight in?

marcs_sp20 · 05-06-2009, 05:34 PM

Gonna have to say yes, as they still have machining marks on them... if you like that industrial look, sure go for it!

Im just gonna paint mine a gloss silver, when I paint the other dash bits...

02-KQ-LASR · 05-06-2009, 05:39 PM

ohhh crap..... i hate painting stuff. i ALLWAYS seem to mess it up.

You can still buy the unfinished ones for $24, works out to be around $60 landed seeing I got these when the exhange rate was around $0.71c... gotta take into account that I had a group buy, so was a little cheaper seeing I was given the discount code

Finished ones are $55, but in all honesty if you can paint, better off buying the unfinished versions...

Diztorsion · 10-06-2009, 05:13 PM

paint as in just spray em? or they need intensive repair? lol

Rupewrecht · 10-06-2009, 05:24 PM

Wouldn't polish out?

marcs_sp20 · 10-06-2009, 05:30 PM

too deep, and a little too fiddly with very thin aluminium used

A nice bright gloss silver would make them stand out... well I hope

Rupewrecht · 10-06-2009, 05:38 PM

Doh!

marcs_sp20 · 10-06-2009, 05:42 PM

actually just looking at them again, they could come up ok with a run round with a bit of scotch brite

Diztorsion · 10-06-2009, 05:55 PM

id rather spend the extra 20!, it says the 'unfinished' ones are currently unavailable anyways :P

marcs_sp20 · 10-06-2009, 05:59 PM
