I think they look great! Then again, I liked the way they looked before. Do you have any pics of the progress?
Are these going on a GPW 911? If so, please post pics! If not, post pics anyway. You know we all love pics! Later, Mike

Very nice. So what process did you use to remove the white paint and then go through the polishing? Also, is there a rule-of-thumb of how much of the pedal should be polished?
