Pioneer AVIC install on the 9-5 is done, so I moved on -- or rather, returned to the Aero wheel restoration I had started last November:
Before (note chunk taken out on the edge of one spoke):

Chunk filled, sanded with 400 grit paper:

Hard to see here, but masked with clear/transparent scotch tape to get the fine line, and further masked with blue tape:

Fully masked and a coat of "Ford Medium Charcoal Metalic" layed down:
