I forgot to mention I have had great success in prepping and painting the SFP from Shapeways.

My rear decklid emblem was printed by them. I just used a plastic primer and then a couple layers of high build primer. A quick wet sand then color, wet sand, and then clear (you can continue if you like).

It turned out OEM quality!

I can't wait to get my hands on a set of these!

Brand new toggles are ready to go!!! New toggles are a revision 2 design which will improve the illumination effect of the light bar and allows for more materials!

Metal has arrived!! You can now order in polished nickel steel, grey steel, and matte black steel!

Raw Aluminum is also an option! Surface finishes of these metals will resemble a cast metal part.

Will the raw aluminum match the stock aluminum knobs?

They would not have a polished appearance so not exactly. They will look more like the finish on apple MacBooks/ cast aluminum parts.

Makes me wonder if I would be able to polish the raw aluminum. Spending $300 to screw it up...I think I'm going to play it safe and just go with the matte black steel and do a red glow in the dark inlay on the design.

Awesome job, thanks for all your hard work!

No reason why you could not polish the aluminum! Think of these parts as freshly cast metal. Same techniques that would be used to polish cast parts could be used on these as well!

Very interested in seeing your combo! Post pics when you receive!

Aluminum will hide the layer lines from 3D printing better then matte steel. Aluminum will also have a finer detail then the steel.

Just some more points that might help in the decision!

Also I just edited the pricing on some of the mechanical bits of the toggle. There was an error on the base and button. Pricing has been fixed on them making overall price less then that original $300 for aluminum.... I apologize for the error!

You've convinced me, I'm going to go for the raw aluminum. Thanks for adjusting the price.
