When you say they look shit are you all talking about the paint or just not liking them? because the paints fine it's just the first coat, looks much better now after the second coat.

I already knew everyone on here wouldn't like them though, but each to there own. I do like them myself.

Why would they be scratched after a week? My boot lock is not scratched and that was put on ages ago..
