Shadowman and Petunia's Vent Project


Nickel plated looks very nice on a tungsten! :thumbsup
 
Since my plastic OEM Center Vents were just fine I was reluctant to have the new billet vents look just like my plastic vents. So after some research I had them nickel plated. They look like dark chrome in some light, black in others. I think I can get away with this because of the Tungsten GT. In any case, they can be de-plated back to the aluminum base metal and powder coated by S-Man someday.

You should nickel plate the side vents that we have I think that would be awesome:thumbsup

Howard I am glad that you posted the picture; as I shared I think that your approach was sound and the results look wonderful on your gal

**** UPDATE ****

The final batch of vents are boxed and labeled ready to leave with FedEx in the am (except for Herb's which will leave Thursday); this batch of vents were after the fact requests.

We have a few folks that likely have not visited this thread that still need to pay however for the most part all have paid and for this I "thank you".

More photo's of "cleared" vents.

I finally got these photo's up; while at Carlisle I decided to display them on my car for everyone to have a look. John and his machinist have created some long lasting replacements that can always easily be removed should one want the plastic back on. In my opinion, covering the fine machine lines with paint would be like painting my nice machined A-arms. Not gonna happen. Thanks John B. (pe2unia)
