Default Nickel plated spider

I took my spider off, sanded it then bead blasted and had the whole thing electroplated nickel. Kind of different.
Also had the fuel rails redone in Yellow Zinc. They look brand new.

Wow, Brad, that looks great! I think that nickel plating might be the most classy spider refinish I've seen...congrats.
