    3 coats of VHT and 3 coats of Clear coat with wetsanding in between every coat. I gotta say, I love the way they look. They match the car perfectly.

    I also sanded the rim of my tips to make them silver. Looks good






    Look at those crisp reflections!



    They look so much better then the pictures, but what can you do lol

    They are kinda dark. I'm hoping it turns out like the ones on my GT where they magically became more visible.

    I only had 2000 grit laying around so that's all I used the whole time. I sanded it before the first coat of VHT and in between every coat of VHT/Clear coat.

    The ones on the silver GP next to mine have gotten pretty rough to the touch but still look good and it's been a year and all I did to those was literally three coats of vht, no sanding or clear. They look ok but lack the shine and smoothness that these have now

    I'm gonna try and keep on top of them, wax every once in a while to protect them.

    What is better to use? I may have to look into it if it's of better quality. I've had the ones on my GT for about a year and they look okay and I didn't even go through these steps.
