Hey Chet:

These guys are not the orginal guys I talked to, but I'm actually more impressed with them, and there right in Camarillo. http://thepolishingshop.com/production.htm

Side gill strip

This is actually the same color as the kidneys but looks quite a bit lighter just because it does not have the mass. I'm thinking of blacking the chrome out to match all the black trim (especially the wheels)

Blacked out OEM Wheels (part 1)

This really changes the look of the car! I really like how it pulled in the carbon fiber roof and the trim around the windows:
Sorry to post in two parts as the photos are too large (wish I could change that )

Sweet look Carlos! BTW... I know a guy with a C6 Corvette that zinc coated his rotors so that they don't ever show rust in the non-contacted areas. When I find out what the procedure is, I will gladly share it with you and anyone else!

Thanks xtal.....I knew a comment about the rotor rust would come up quickly. It only shows up immediately after a wash. It disappears after a short drive. I would love to know about the zinc coat however!
