I took them apart, stripped everything to bare aluminum, had the faces redrilled from 5x4.75 to 5x4.5, repainted the faces a dark metallic grey, cleaned the bolts with a few rounds of aircraft stripper, and refinished the lips with wetsanding polishing. They came out nicely.

Rules:
Same car in jays' post just updated!

Ty. It's a rare ChargeSpeed wing. Wonder how I should bolt it up proper because I can't just rivet on top like a Rocket Bunny wing

Oldie but goodie

They turned out pretty good. I'm not actually going to use them on this car though since they each take about 65mm worth of spacers to sit flush, haha. Not sure what I'm going to do with them.
