Re: Chrome "vent" on '09's - Why on some but not others?

Well that is actually why we are taking this one apart. We are doing the black chrome finish to all the bright chrome pieces. We can do the wheels, but the wheels that were built for the vehicle are a set of HRE's in matte black finish. So no black chrome on those...

Black chrome on the factory wheels shouldnt be too bad. Its been a while since I priced out some black chrome factory wheels. I can get you pricing if you want...

Thanks,

I'm disappointed in GM for making far more chrome-wheeled-from-factory XLR-V's for the 2009 year than they should have. I know you guys do the black-chrome thing with the grilles on these cars, either owner-supplied or purchased from you all, and I've seen the pricing. It would be interesting to know whether it's even possible, and for what price, a set of the chrome rims (stock GM XLR-V chrome rims) could be "black-chromed".

Thanks,
