Yeah, I'll be picking them up on Wed around 5pm. I'll take the little detour and drop em by your place on the way back. :)
What color are you making your car? I think 2 are silver and are argent (gray) Might give you a nice perspective. lol

Possible yes, how clean a line that doesn't "wobble" on you as you go down the road (between dark and machined lip) would be a bit of a challenge I would think.

Custom masking will cost you about as much as the powder-coating itself will.

This sounds 100% accurate to me.

Could you have them done in black and then manually sand/grind the lips yourself?

i was thinking sbout that but would be worried chipping the paint or not having as crisp of a line.
