I am set up to meet with the manufacturer on friday afternoon to give them the mold.

Do you guys think a set in black would look good on an Alabaster, or would it slow it down too much?

Silver might look decent (like the SL63 vents) but I think black would look out of place, unless you had several other black accents

Is that just a rough mock-up? I would love to see final product, installed, on your car before money is sent. I think I speak for most when I say that.

From this vantage, it looks good. Strakes will be OEM silver, right?

I know it's a lot of questions, but do remember that my day-job is scrutinizing service parts @ Nissan. I'm accustomed to rejecting parts for the slightest blem... hard to flip that switch in an instant

That pic is of the master part. It is much thicker than the actual part will be so it will not fit on my car to give you proper pictures

Strakes will be oem silver yes. They are black in the pic bc i used my own to make the master part

I will not be accepting any money until I receive and approve a sample unit from the manufacturer. Once I receive it I will post pics. I do not anticipate any problems on their side, so I want to be ready to place the initial order once I get the sample unit

I will keep you posted as to when I will be receiving the sample unit and will post the pics up immediately upon receipt. You will want to speak up very quickly once I post pics so I can call in an extra set in time.

I hope to get a sample by mid next week

Ditto (and this is because I needed to have at least ten characters in my post - otherwise I would have left it at "ditto", but no, we've got that crazy ten character rule so I added this instead of just leaving it at "ditto" because that was, apparently, too damn short of a response since it was missing five characters)

Happy now?

Ok. For those of you who are waiting final product pics. I will get them posted here asap. From that time you will have, ill say, about the rest of the day to let me know if you are in or out. I will call in the order the next morning. Once I call in the order I will not be able to change it so be sure to speak up quickly

If you miss the first batch you will have to wait for the next. Im not sure when that will be.. A few weeks or so
