Resurface or reuse PP?
Can a guy resurface or reuse a pressure plate? Just looking to save a bit of money on my ve swap and I found a guy with a brand new exedy oem clutch pad.

Sure, why not? When you resurface, you're really just using a wheel to clean up the contact surface if there's any glazing on it. You can't exactly turn it like you would a brake rotor.

There comes a point in the PP's life where there's just not much material left (hardly ever the case), or you can't remove the glazing with the cookie wheel (like I use), or when the clamping fingers are weak or broken off.

Yes. OEM clutch is fine for a bolt on VE.
