From Prep to Finish it has taken about 1 1/2 weeks. There was a ton of sanding involved and it is sitting with 4 clear coats right now. The letters will be detailed in black tomorrow and I should have pics of it on the car by tomorrow afternoon.

Yes. We're out towards Jamestown, about an hour west of Binghampton.
I had the covers done by Jimmy at 607motorsports :

He charges 200$ for the whole thing if you provide the paint.

It was PPG Matched paint, same as body color. Then we clear coated it 4 times. It's expensive, but the right way to go.
