Check out the latest Nemesis8 modification ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
These are vacuum plated chrome. Sorry for the low res pic, it's my camera phone. Total cost was about $120 delivered for both. The finish is like a mirror, and the plating looks OEM in detail. I give these guys two thumbs up.![Icon Tup](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/icon_tup.gif)

Hey, cut Nemesis some slack. This is clearly a functional improvement. The chrome plating reflects the infrared energy in the engine bay, whereas the black plastic absorbs it. This keeps the temperature of the PCM and fuses much cooler. By plating the surface, Nemesis has added an effective thermal barrier with essentially no weight penalty.
Pure engineering genius, right?
