I finally came across a set of blades for the bfs teg, super happy :0)

They do need a bit of work to look real good, but for the price i couldn't pass it up.

If we cant refinish them are selfs, I think we may get them professionally re done.


Anybody got any pics of blades on some civics and tegs? I dont kno if I want to polish them or paint them.

as long as there are no huge gouges or chunks missing from the lip, then polishing will take care of them. just start with a lower grit paper on the scratched up areas.

or just buy 1 spare blade off ebay & keep the curbed one in place of the oem spare.

that looks great :thumb:
You could go even further with them if you go up to 2000 grit, then they look almost like chrome. a ton of work though
