I am holding out for a TRUE brushed metal unit made from actual METAL.
Sorry to say, but I think chrome plated plastic will scratch even easier then ours does now.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t want to be the guinea pig.

Get it chromed... then brush the fuck out of it with a Brilo pad.
Gives a similar effect to brushed aluminum.. it actually does look good... believe it or not.
Take a steak knife or something at home like some chrome hardware on a cabinet or sink or something... scratch the shit out of it. see if you like it.

Soopa will not be responsible for dumb asses
Really though... if you want a true brushed look... just get it cromed... get a metal brush... and brush it your damn self.
Then just spray some clear coat on it.

Well afterspeaking to the guy at Chrometech USA I don't think that he can assure me that it will come out perfect so I decided to go to another company called www.chromeservices.com I spoke to a guy named Chis who can assure me that it will come out perfect since he does chrome plastic centers for O.E. rims. The cost is $100.00 + shipping but he tells me that the way he chromes it, it will look OEM and have a durable finish. I think if we can get a few of us together maybe we can get a discount?
Thanks

How hard do you think it would be to take it out, make some measurements, bend and cut aluminum or other metal to match? A dremmel or other tool could be used to smooth the edges and then laquer it to keep it's shine. Opinions?

I know a shop in miami that will do cuts of alumunum pretty cheap.. you provide the metal.. I will post the name in the cost you give the guy your design and he will cut them out then you can shine them up....
