they look nice. Is the finish supposed to mirror OEM or is it a different shade of gray?

I was joking. Your studs are more than long enough. Did you have to buy an extra-deep socket to service the rears?

Get them even longer and you could do sort of a Ben Hur or 007 thing.

Hyper Silver is available as a painted finish, you can do the cap to match also.

Here is a sample of a few sets we did with matching caps.

Hyper Silver is a nice painted finish, however for that 40th anniversary finish a polish is necessary in order to achieve that OEM result.
