Chrome was my first thought when we started building the frame but after speaking with a few shops they told me it was impossible.

Why was that? I thought you could chrome almost any metal.

There is no way to polish all of the areas and prep it correctly. They said it will look like s***.

Ah, good point. Trust the professionals I guess... It'll still look awesome regardless.

I sure hope so. Im stressing over it pretty bad actually.
They do, but my powdercoater said it looks terrible over steel. So thats a no go as well.

Anyways, I've picked a couple colors and they are shipping me some samples. So hopefully get the ball rolling again soon.

Wow... that's very clean. What happened to the first attempt?

The first harness was built for the AEM series 1 ems and utilizes the oem configuration for the harness connection. The Infinity Ems has a special connector so my wiring guy tried to depin the first harness and mate it to the new connector and pretty much ruined the harness. So I sent my harness back to the original builder and had them redo it and make a few changes and this is the result.
I absolutely love it!

This thread is one of the only reasons I still check in here, can't wait to see what you choose for the frame and see everything come together.

Thanks man. Sorry its been so long in the making.
Theyre pretty big in the honda community but i was thinking of using them to bolt my frame together. Only time will tell.
My Recaro fabric is supposed to be here from Germany on friday so hopefully an update there soon!
