Did you cut the plates yourself or buy it as a kit?

Got the plate kit from Rebel, the basic silver non anodised version then used the magic spray black chassis paint.

The plates came pre drilled and well formed i.e. bent to the correct curve for the body pannels. Re-drilled and rivited rather than the sugested self tapping screws.
