Default New Weapon-R Neo coating....

I would like some feedback on some new Neo Coating we possibly might come out with.
Civic pipe!

Universal Oil Catch tank!


We are thinking of doing some manifolds in the future. Of course it would add some cost to the intakes , or what ever is coated.

No flaming please if you like or dislike please state why.

Disclaimer: These are only samples too!

i dont particularly care for it, i think it cheapens the brand.
not flaming, just stating my opinion, which you may take into account or not.. i think it looks kinda "chunte de-ville" but i also dont like the "burnt / titanium look" exaust tips that some rock.. But hey, if there is a market and a demand for the coating and people want them go for it!
I personally like your mirror polish and superb quality..

I quite don't understand your reply. So your saying Neo chrome is Cheap, but then you link to one of the most expensive lugs on the market.

just because an item is expencive doesn't mean that the quality is better then a cheaper product. We know WR doesn't make "inferior" quality products, they are all researched, tested, and re-tested before they come to market. It's just that I personally think my perception of WR as a company thats cutting edge, who makes race tested products, You know when you see the WR stamp on some headers that they are going to perform no questions asked and they will hold up to the abuse we put our cars through. I dont percieve WR as a company that makes products that come in "lots of pretty colors", just honest to goodness reseach, development, and quality.. not that there isn't anything wrong with "pretty colors" in some applications, there will always be grey area... Do i want my rims offered in a choice of colors, sure..
now i am all for coatings when a benifit is involved such as ceramic coating for heat abatement, or coatings to reduce friction. I was just saying in this instance in particular, i didn't like the neo-chrome coating, maybe it's a reflection of my personal style and tastes. I just see WR as a no frills performance products company that spends more time and resources on quality and testing then "frills".
Now if there are any menbers out there that think they have better lugs then the rest of us because they have a neo coating and are down to drop $250 on lugs, then i have skateboards decks for sale with anti friction coatings, just $199.99 per deck!
but seriosuly, i hope no one got the impression that i was knocking WR at all.. If you like the coatings and it works for your style and tastes, let em know! Then can serve us better when they know what we, their customers want and i think its great that they run stuff like this by us, as not many companies take our opinions into account.

Weapon R= Awesomeness

Not much for the fruity colors but I am sure it will sell to those who like a lot of flash, I think a Black Chrome would be awesome, but that is just my opinion! Hope it helps a little

Do you think those lugs are cheap?!

Personally I love that finish, similar to burnished titanium.

I think it looks awesome. It can be overdone, but I would like a few things done in it. Wondering how much a piece like that in the first picture would cost to be coated...

Like anything, it can be overdone. A few parts here and there would be fine, but I wouldn't want to see a total rainbow engine bay.
