sweet ejd found what u wanted...
Not sure about the rust issue since theirs are supposed to be zinc aluminum dipped, but maybe thats why they started using the zinc dipped ones? rust problems..
Not sure I made a custom set for my 99 eclipse that I had out of the same stuff I have now and just cut and installed it with no material prep, still hasn't rusted, but again AZ is a dry state most of the time.
The set Im making now for my p5 has already had a 4 layer primer coat put on and when I get home it will have a 4-5 layer semigloss black coat out on and maybe a sealant if I like. Will have to see what it looks like when all the paint is dry.
the templates are relatively easy to make, I just used newspaper for first time for a rough design, then transferred to cardstock paper or a really thin cardboard and just test fit/trim test fit/trim over and over untill it fit perfectly. Now I have a good template.
