Nope, nada, not feeling it at all and will most definitely get redone back to gloss black. I'll share pictures when powdercoat is new and then in 6 months I'll update to show quality powder won't fade like ZL1Addon's

I kinda like it. You just need more accents of the same color cause right now it looks out of place.

I don't hate the color, just prefer more subtle. If I was to get my calipers done in the color, maybe the "1" inlay in the same color it would look much better. I really wouldn't mind getting my calipers done in shocker yellow, but little too much time to invest for me at the moment.

Couldn't take the green any longer. Removed, scuffed and painted black for now. Will get it repowdercoated gloss blackin a few weeks when I bring a few other items. I'll post picture when it's installed and how quality powder doesn't fade in 6 months.

Follow up... It's now powdercoated gloss black and installed on the car 5/12/22. I'll check back in 6 months.

That is unexcusable, they are either uneducated or being cheap.
Appears they did not specify the correct powercoat. They either used an interior grade powercoat or used an epoxy (superior durability and abrasion resistance) not knowing it has poor UV resistance. For our aluminum balcony railing business we are able to provide a 10 yr color and gloss warranty even with south florida sun exposure, with the correct powdercoat.

This is great info and makes perfect sense. I'm leaning towards cheap considering their "stellar" customer service.
