Looks nice, but why didn't you polish them beforehand?

lookin' good. i did the center caps for the phone dials i have in black - its how they came from the factory (at least from the one's i've seen) it looks pretty good, but i do admit it looks very nice in the proper porsche/german colors also

nicely done

thx, yeah they're a little rough, but it's my first attempt, i firgure they'll be good for now and when they start to chip or peel i'll do them again only better. i also have the set from my '87, i think i'll do those to and try to make them a little smoother, especially the silver part, that came out a little rough. but i do think they'll look good at 70+ mph. haha
