Yea I ordered a set ~2 weeks ago -- still waiting on them to arrive from Germany...

Do you have any recommendations for paint shops in the area?

Sports and Classics over in North Park did mine. Top notch work. Just be very clear that you don't want them to throw the box away so you have a place to store your stock skirts!

Did you trim them ahead of time, or did you have them trim them for you?

I trimmed them ahead of time. Literally took 60 seconds with a Dremel.

Edit: Actually they did the corner reflectors at the same time. Forgot that. They were brand new and I had them sand off the lettering so there was a little prep for them to do there.

Try to have it trimmed beforehand but its not a huge deal either way. I trimmed mine afterwards because I wasn't sure where to trim. When I did trim, I think mine was closer to 30 seconds per side with some wire cutters.
