Hard to tell from the pics, but it would depend on how deep the scratches are. If you can get them really cheap it might be worth it to buy them just to see. If not you can always do the best you can with the scrape and then sell them lol

Yeah might as well, if you can't buff out the scrapes to your liking you could prolly turn around and sell them for more than $80 lol. Are they e-codes or what?

Just looking at that first picture you can tell it's a scuff. A buffer will take that right off.

Wet sand with 1500 then 2000, buff and polish and I bet you'll be good to go.
