Jay and Amber have always been good to me. I ordered Strange brakes from them this winter. I have them and there was no drama in getting them.

Well, I got the panel today so I'm pretty pleased with the quick shipping. However, for $70 after shipping, it's not exactly what I had in mind per the description and image on their site. What I received was pretty rough with sharp edges and doesn't exactly fit perfectly without my having to do some grinding. For a piece specific to this purpose, I'm a bit disappointed and I think I could have saved myself the money and made something just as functional as what I was sent.

i like them to all match, even the ones you cant see.
ive done this a few times and its worked pretty well.
if you had someone to hold it inside the car that would work too.

I made it out of cardboard first then transfered it to the metal

traced around the edge of it on some aluminum and cut it with a jigsaw.
smooth the edges. looks real proffessional.
