they look like NEW when they are done

Wow thats really sweet. Too expensive to justify though, cause I'm talking about curb rash on stock rims. Impressive though...

another so called MOD i'm searching right now, car cleaners. I bought a cheap OEM rear bumper already painted for $75, but it has scratches . I'm shopping around now for which polishers to use to help bring this paint back to life instead of just paying to get it done. So far I'm thinking I might actually try to sand it (the needed spots only), touch up paint, then fine sand, polish, wax, and seal. I started last night by clay barring it in my basement and using a fine fine polish, then viewed it under a lamp to see how much work I have to do.

I was also thinking about buying two of the cheap fake mazdaspeed replica rear ends and cutting them up. I'm trying to design a single exhaust rear bumper on my autocad (my exhaust is the HKS hi-power single), and i think i maybe able to do it using two of the fakes and fabbing something up, then letting a pro paint it. Of course the main concern is having it look OEM, but if it's designed correctly (and built correctly) I believe I can pull it off.

i'm researching on autopia.com, seems if you follow others instructions and do it right the first time things should turn out pretty good
