What do you guys do with your scuff plates when the start getting pretty scratched up? The aluminum looks like it has some kind of coating on it, otherwise I would polish them.

Mine are getting chromed, should be here any day - and where are they TTT?!!

 

Cover it with carbon fiber
That's what I did, I'll post some pics when I get home.

Do a post search, someone is already going to be marketing carbon fiber scuff plates.
Basicly, stock aluminum scuff plates with a true carbon overlay

I would sell them, if it wasn't such a pain in the *** to do.
If you have a pair of aluminum scuff plates & are interested in the carbon fiber look, send me a PM. I might be swayed to convert a couple of pairs.

IM not taking about using that vinyl, carbon look, sticker.
This is the real deal, carbon cloth. Thats why it's such a pain in the ***. Wet lay up, vaccum bagged & heat blanket. Poly clearcoat finish. Take three to four days to complete.

 

Here is a crappy shot of what I mean.......




I used counter sunk/flush screws, painted black, to mount it

 

Carbon or polished looks great.

 

Here is a picture of them polished.



I can also do them in carbon fiber. My friend and I are starting to make parts for others. Check out www.carbonfiberparts.net

Right now I got a set of cf door exteroir door handles and a cf gauge pod (the one that sits on the gauge cluster and holds 2 guages) They still need sanding and clear coat, but I will post pictures soon.
