it could be alot better but we did it in an 1 1/2 hrs. just buffed it out with 800 grit till it was shiny then resanded it all with mothers mag polish and 2000 grit. came out alright then put them on the car cleaned them with brake cleaner and start it up. it starts off shiny silver but turns a golden broze after 2 miles or so and stay that color shitsss sickkk.
