Those are actually polished aluminum and I am not sure if he is able to do any other finishes or not. The black and red parts are powdercoated so I would appear he can at least make them a different color than high polished. Whether he can or has the equipment to make them in a black chrome finish, I don't know.

If your wantin something diff, do you need to have a design to send him or will a description work?
Not sure on that. I saw the ones like I got on his website and really liked them. I would guess he can do some other designs based on what you want, but that you would really just have to ask him about. He is limited in what he can do if it resembles too much like a stock factory piece.

But I wanted different numbers.

Austins making me some badges at the moment..He said it takes 15 hours from start to finish...

He has another core business and does this on the side when he can...reakons he only does one set a week or so....

I managed to get hold of him within 3 jours of sending an email and we ended up chatting via email for the best part of two hours...

I even mailed him some New Zealand hotrod mags for a little look see into the scene down these parts
