I like the color as it is a gradient shade of gradual color and not solid burnt blue. Then again, it's all personal preference.  |
I don't think you understand my post. I said nothing about having a problem w/ slant cuts or titanium finishes. Did you see the actual piece at the 86Fest? There were blisters from the heating on the welded edges that damaged the finish and splotched the hues, not smooth and uniform like other titanium tips. This was surprising since their stuff seems to be well executed most of the time. But it's enough to make me wonder what surprise would be awaiting me inside the box once I got it. When I see something like that being displayed as a demo for a show or exhibit it makes me wonder.
Unless you think bad craftsmanship is a matter of 'personal preference', you're missing my point. Until I see a pic of a better unit, I'll trust my own eyes that the piece I saw indicates the product I would receive.
Here's a pic of their matte finish. This is the quality I'm talking about, or lack off. This is NOT expert craftsmanship or treatment on the finish, and not something I would pay for to put on my car. The actual polished tip on display w/ the bluing was worse than even this if you look straight on at the edges (which they hide in the pic). I'll agree that the gradual powder bluing is nice though. Personal preference? Ok. Versus Greddy and Tomei below...
