Ok heres the deal, the topic has come up again and the progress on our dragon emblems has come to a point where we need to make the decision. Basically we cannot find a company who will chrome plate plastics. there are 2 other routes we are thinking about, but are open to any other ideas. It goes like this:
A) we can get them chrome plated still... however, the emblems would need to be made of brass for the plating to adhere and not melt the piece.
PRO: we still have them chrome plated
CON: its going to bump the price to approximatly 45 bucks an emblem frown.gif
B) we can continue with using the hi-temp plastic as planned, but they will need to be spray painted, either by me, or by you, your choice.
PRO: Keeps cost low and still good quality product
CON: the emblem is spray painted, and like the painted taillights and engine pieces, MAY need to be repainted once and a while.
C) keep waiting and come up with another idea.

Celica is a spanish word. I forget what it means... and kanji and katakana seems so Hondaish. I saw one that once read like "Big Gun" or something to that effect.

it has dual meanings: in spanish it stands for "heavenly" or "cellestial", while in one of the eastern cultures it is a mythical person who rides a nortic dragon, hence, the dragon emblems!!
