What are you painting them with? They came out well :)

Not think about getting them powder coated, would last a fair bit longer than paint
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Them springs look brand new! Nice job! And flat wipers is the first thing I have done to both my cars now [emoji38] much better than crappy stock
