Thanks for the advice, I think this would be the best route.

IMHO it won't look like a Z from the rear, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I had mine powdercoated for $75 each; I did the taping for the media blasting and dropped off, picked it up and redid the taping for the PC and oven and had to remove the high temp tape (supplied by them) to keep the cost down. They said the cost of the labor to tape is the killer. I polished the lip on mine since I'm not going for NCRS or anything like
that. I'm just sharing option for someone on a budget like myself. Sorry, I don't have a picture after the pc right now.

You're right, it definitely does not look right. I'm in the process of trying to find aftermarket A-Molds. So far the best price I could find was $589 shipped, trying to find a set for $500. I think the car looks much better with the 5 spokes anyway.
