On the Bench

I have decided to create this thread to try to keep current with what is being worked on at the moment. Each entry will be separate from the next so that editing the “current” post will not be as difficult to determine when it was done, etc.

Each post will be dated in the header and progress will be posted as to what is being processed, what difficulties I am having with them, what is being prepared for going “On the Bench”.

I know you are swamped. I put in a order for accents and strakes and just want to confirm you recieved it in your paypal account. I don't see any activity on my card. Aslo, i just ordered rims, can you look at this picture and tell me if the accents and strakes are this finish? If not I need to change the order and pay the extra dough. I am sure with your workload you have time to change mine.

Well, the standard color is a bright shiny surface. I cannot tell if those are dark chrome or not. They look bright chrome. The strake colors in the gray scale that I make look like the ones posted below. I have added a dark chrome color that is very nice looking. They are from left to right, dark chrome, aluminum, Gun Metal Mica and Wheel silver.

The next set are pics of each at a closer shot.

I had to get different rims. The ones I ordered are black ice otherwise known as hyperblack I think. I am sure the standard color will be fine. Been a while since i ordered but i haven't got a confirmation or order number. Is that normal?
