How many would be interested in CHROME PLATED T/A Ram Air Nostrils?? Trying to gauge a response on how many of you would be interested in purchasing chrome transam ramair nostril screens (the plastic peices).
These peices would NOT be electroplated or vaccum metalized. (vaccum metalized is when you spray a sivlerish spray and spray a clearcoat over it, electroplating is when you spray particle ions onto plastic or other material to make it conductive to chrome, NOT real chroming)
These grill peices would be triple chrome plated, REAL chrome. NO substitute. Downsides to vaccum metalizing (which most companies around here offer on grills and other plastic peices) is that it is prone to cracking, yellowing and especially chipping easier when it is outside the car. That is why vaccum metalizing is typically used on interior peices.
I am not quite sure of the pricing yet. It should not be signifigantly higher priced but you will see a difference in pricing obviously because it will be actual chrome. There will be quite the noticable difference in depth obviously. Just take a look at plastic toy model chrome peices compared to a peice of metal. You'll notice a difference hehe.
Let me know guys, thanks!

Re: How many would be interested in CHROME PLATED T/A Ram Air Nostrils?? I think it might look good too if you found a way to mount screens in the lower hood openings. To me it looks kinda strange with four oppenings with 2 screens
