February 26, 201312 yr comment_416232 I wanted to post some pictures of the vents I just got back from Mike. It is difficult to get clear pictures of chrome when the flash is required. Hopefully these pictures give you a good idea of what you can expect from Mike if you have him plate any parts for you. The quality exceeded my expectations. I have had numerous conversation's with Mike and he told me that is his goal, to exceed all his customers expectations. He is a pleasure to do business with and he is a passionate Z guy like the rest of us on this forum. Thanks Mike.

February 26, 201312 yr comment_416267 Very nice! I sent Mike 2 sets of 260Z tail light trims. I took some before photos but the lighting wasn't great. One set had been painted black and the other is original but worn and peeling in a few areas. Can't wait to see the results!

April 16, 201311 yr comment_420732 Just want to thank Mike for the great work on my really rusty and pitted and painted center caps for my original Appliance wheels. I just received them back today, about 2 months for the work to be done. Great job, here is a picture of after, I did not take a before picture, my bad. Now I have to paint the area around the A with black paint. Thanks again Mike.

April 25, 201311 yr comment_421603 My tail light trim came out pretty nice. I've yet to do the green car, but will install them once I re-paint the surrounds.

Hi Leon, Grats with the taillight trims they look great. After forty years most of these things are a little worse for wear. Rechroming this stuff is the icing on the cake to any restoration.

The old ones were faded and peeling, so I definitely appreciate having clean, shiny ones in there! Everybody knows shiny stuff makes you go faster. I think my exhaust tips add about 25hp.

April 27, 201311 yr Author comment_421761 Michael, Thank you for your feedback. And yes, those were some seriously rusted center caps......I had to cross my fingers and hold my breath when I sent those out for plating:) Fortunately, I DO have a pic of your caps before they were re-chromed. I'll try to post it here. Mike Just want to thank Mike for the great work on my really rusty and pitted and painted center caps for my original Appliance wheels.

April 28, 201311 yr Author comment_421781 I could tell everyone that a fresh plate of clean chrome reduces friction and attendant drag, making the car more aerodynamic and subsequently faster. But, I don't think I'm gonna make that claim on any brochure or business card.
