Look nice. Good job.

Why did you refer to them as 'JDM'?

Looks good, I just finished painting mine also. Though I went with a solid gunmetal/graphite color.

Did you use a clearcoat?
I attempted to use a semi-gloss clearcoat, but it was SO thick that it ran no matter how lightly I sprayed it.

Eli - I put my Azenis on, they are in the pic above. No more snow....

Is it possible to remove the word Aguzze from there? Is it just a decal?

Uh, a clear coat is not always glossy. They make flat/matte clear coats. It is meant to be protective, not necessarily to make it glossy, unless that is what you want. Anyhoo....
