regarding powdercoating, if you only want the recessed areas powdercoated then you are looking at quite a bit of masking per piece, which could get expensive for that type of part. The high-temp masking tape is a little more expensive than general masking tape, and the layout could mean 5-10 mins ish per piece just masking. at $60 an hour for labor that is $5-$10 a piece before you even get to powdercoating them.

I would offer them as-is, and let the buyer decide how to handle the recessed area. Some may want to color match to the car, some may want to polish everything but the recessed areas, some may want it black or with CF inserts. Let them do it
