Default Nightchrome?

Any of you guys running this new nightchrome? It's like blackish chrome. Looks like a cool alternative to a blacked out bike, dark chrome.

First time I've seen it. here's a link

I wonder if it looks similar to the smoked chrome badges that come on the Street Glides? If so, that would be really cool. I have seen some people that have ben talking about something called "black chrome" and to me it looks too much like gloss black paint. Smoked chrome would cool though.

Maybe its the just the pictures (or the way my computer displays them), but it kinda looks like cheap plastic to me.

Meclec inCA calls it "black chrome." It looks nice.

Years ago I owned a Yamaha Midnight Special. It came with black chrome on it. Held up well and looked good.

It was funny, on a thread in the past with all the blacked out stuff going on, I said it would be cool if there were some black chrome. My bike is Cobalt and chrome so it wouldn't be for me but I think it looks pretty good!

The black chrome I have seen in person looks really good to me, but I don;t figure everyone will like it. for me, I think it looksbest onon a silver, black, orblack pearl (mine)bike... I have been hoping to see a set of black chrome wheels in person to get a feel for how they look, but I haven't seen them anywhere yet. the pictures I see don't usually do it justice.
