So I called Dan up at Wheeldude.com and couldn't decide between Yamaha Black and Hyper Black. I was partial to Hyper since I thought Matte and Gloss black seemed played out (no offense I still love the Yamaha Black). He did'nt have any Hyper and there was a short wait, so I bought some Royal Steel Gray's and decided to try out this new process called PermaStar by Goodrich Technology:

This stuff is awesome! Vacuum processed powdercoat, with the look and sheen of chrome, less the weight. The workmanship is backed by a warranty (I believe 5-7 years), and they do wheel repair also (bent & curb rash wheels)

AFTER (stuffed with 275/35/18 Falken 452's, Rr fenders rolled, Front fender liners heated/pushed for clearance):

 

sickkkkkkkk

 

WOW, i never thought i would like chrome on an evo other than the CW classics. but DAMNN that looks amazing..

 

That looks sick. Really, just WOW!

I wonder what would happen if you did this process on the stock wheels, get gunmetal advan RS out of them

 

looks great, always loved black chrome

 

shiny

 

Not my kinda bag, but nice going none the less.

 

all i can say is, WOW!

 

It looks pretty good on your car

 

Thanks guys. I was skeptical of the chrome-look. I DO NOT like chrome at all, the *BLING* factor and especially the extra weight (especially on a car like this). But Always loved Black chrome, and with no additional weight (it may even be lighter than regular powder coat because of less material due to the vacuum process), this was a bonus for me.

Next is doing the chrome on the window/door areas. I have a Chargespeed Carbon Fibre grill frame (nose piece) to replace that chrome piece also (I'll do at the same time I do the Oil & Tranny fan-cooler mod.

 

Looks really good!

 

Didn't think id like that but nice...flows good with the car

 

Raw!!

 

Where did you get it done and cost to get it done?

 

It accents the chrome trimming on your MR. Looks great IMO. Not sure it would look right on a GSR though..
