I did. The clear on the outer lip isn't durable because it doesn't adhere to bare aluminum well. Some shops remedy this by painting the lip a shade of silver first, then clear coating. I didn't like this idea so I hand- sanded longitudinally with wet 600 grit, than clear coated. They looked okay but if I still had them I'd polish the lip and run them bare and see if they looked good for a season without re polishing them.
BTW the bolts are supposed to be titanium.
