    Alex - looking very professional. Maybe just me - but I think a darker grey would be even better (I thought the matt black was pretty schmick)

    When can i pay for a set?

    I think a matte black would look really nice. Seen a few done like this.

    The grey set above will be for sale once I receive delivery of the stainless nuts and washers which should be tomorrow or Wednesday.

    I can PM you my Paypal if you like.

    Guys it is only paint, you can paint them any colour you want including nipple pink!

    The job Axel has done on the manufacture of the vent and then the chrome plating is outstanding, you customise the colour of the infill to suit your own requirements.

    cheers Chuck.

    Wow dude! They look the goods! I will definitely be up for a set when I finish my car. Are you ups for doing other plastic chroming?

    I would love to find a way to get the interior door strips re done I also have a set of vitaloni mirrors that could do with a spruce up.

    cheers

    Hey Nath,

    glad you like them and I look forward to selling you a pair

    After playing around with a number of spray chrome products myself I decided that if I was going to be selling these then I wanted the best quality chrome so I decide to outsource the chroming to ChromeTech at Castle Hill, the quality of their work is awesome.
    If you need anything done give them a call and speak to either Walter or Jon and let them know Alex the Celica guy sent you, I'm sure they'll look after you 0298999122 www.chrometech.com.au

    Cheers
    Alex

    Hey mate,

    Yeah these sail vents look even more impressive in real life.. I just received the set pictured above and wow...

    If you're referring to the chrome strip of the upholstery then I might be able to help. I just had an interior made and Evan (the guy who made it) was able to hunt down chrome strips to use to replace the OEM ones.
    His name is EB-J on here. If you can't find him using the autistic search function, then he's commented a few times on my build thread towards the end.

    He might be able to hook you up :-)

    Sure, I have a set ready to go now if you're keen.
    They are done in matt black though rather than the grey.
    Here's a pic...PM me your details if you would like to purchase.
    Cheers, Alex

    Axel, this is marvellous. I hope you've found a rewarding market. Any other bits planned?
