Food for thought: Brushed Stainless Steel Aero Kit

Folks,

I have been thinking, would a stainless steel aero kit look good, specially on Black. I am thinking of a brushed finish rather than a shiny look. Anyone has good photoshop skills who might want to try it out?


What do you folks think?

Cheers,

Hmmm. I was assuming that the OP was talking about it being painted with a "brushed stainless steel" look...

It would be very expensive to actually produce in stainless steel. And what if it got a dent from a curb? I think it needs to be be plastic...

Yes, the idea is to if possible give a brushed stainless steel/aluminum finish to the OEM Aero Kit pieces, which will match the running boards.

So I went ahead and brushed up my photoshop skills and here is the end result. What do you folks think?

Cheers

Does the phase "does the pant make my S look fat, Honey?" ring a bell?

There's a Chevy Suburban (Or a GMC relative) in my town with a paintjob like that and it does look pretty nice. If you paint the fender flares and running boards to match, it would look nice and be very unique.
