I will probably be interested in black chrome HVAC and radio ***** when they're available. Can't wait to see them.

You should be in my head
I've had this whole LMB/Black Chrome thing going on for more than a year.
I talked to the fab guys today, they are trying to get the proto-types out to me this week...

I'll get them up tonight. The samples are WaaaaaYYYY to dark. Almost like a Black Powder Coat but with more shine.
The saga continues, they are going to try and lighten it up a bunch and run us some more samples.
I guess this continues to be why we call it Proto-Typing...

Ok Everyone, thanks for all the PM's and Emails. Here is a pic of the proto-type. Obviously not what we were shooting for, just way way to dark. On the up side the tech guys think they have it figured out, so it is back to waiting for the next proto-type to come out of the run. BTW, the finish is really nice.
We are expecting the STD Chrome ***** to be in Monday or Tuesday.
These will be a Price Breaker item
Peace

to dark you say? Looks to me like they're too light. Perhaps if you took a pic on a non-white surface.

Hey George,
We could accomplish that finish with some good powder coating.
This is the finish we are after...
Peace
