Thanks!! I'll admit to being anal but I haven't made the leap all the way to OCD. I'm working on it though!

Anyone who's done these understands how much work it is. I really wasn't sure the best way to attack it either and questioned myself a few times on the way I finally chose. Putting them in the blasting cabinet after spraying them with clear I'm sure seemed a bit odd. But it worked well and I'm very pleased.

I know, they will get marks in them but I guess I'll have to live with that. They just look better with them IMO. Sorry Judge owners.
I am however thinking about painting the egg crate parts of the front grille black. That's something I really like about the Judge. No wing for me on this car though.
Got a suggestion about where to buy new trim rings? Are rings the same for the 15X8 wheels on the back as they are for the 15X7 on the front?
