Yep sure! My man Jeff @ MX south said that Maier brand is not that good, but for under $60 and in black, I'm keen to give them a whirl.

They're not very smooth, or shiny like the OME ones, but I'd still like to see!!!!!

A quick pollish will take care of that, it's not like we are swimming in choices anymore.  :D

I use a die grinder with a buffing wheel and some fine compound that comes in the sticks. I try to use a old wheel so I don't have to press hardly at all because the plastic will over heat easy if you press hard. I would think you could use a 1\4 drill just as well.

I like 3M One step Cleaner Wax and a foam buffing pad on my rechargable drill. It is hard to overheat the plastic with the foam buffer and it is less prone to lift the graffics, That prosess also works on dull lexan headlights. I got that stuff at O Reilly.

Maier black side panels arrived 10 minutes ago. Looking good so far, although I will have to bore out the mounting holes to the correct size.
 I will fit them up and post the end result later. Loving these holidays!

Yeah, Fairly happy with the fitted product. Although there is a bit of shaging round drilling holes for the bolts and exhaust rubbers. Sturdy and do not touch any where they should'nt.
