Wow! Looks good. I think they'll look better than the black actually. Keep it up bro. And post up some pics of it on your car when you're done!

Looks nice so far, what grit sandpaper are you using. When I did mine I did 600,800,1000,1400,1600,2000 all wet sanded. They came out really good too.

Not bad. If you're not going for the really shiny polish, then I think you're there. But you'll have to put in some more time sanding to get that luster.
