They are sold as brushed aluminum, not polished or chromed. You have to get that done somewhere else.

I appreciate the info! Checked them out at Mazdaformance.com... looks like they sell them with a "saitin finish"... which isn't what I want. So... I suppose I could either refinish them to the polished look... or maybe they are incorrect and they come brushed aluminum. Any thoughts? Thanks!!!

"Satin Finish" or "Brushed Aluminum", call it what you want, it means the same thing. If you refer to "twinturboteddy's" pic above, the scuff plates come looking like the one on top with the gold anodized RX-7 logo.

P.S. Here's a pic of "apneablue's" plates where he polished the logo. Nice, eh?

The troubble is they get scratched up very easy, that's why they're there to protect the paint...
