I have them in the alloy. I've seen them chrome, I'd like to see it in a shiny gunmetal or black powdercoat.

Ya I second this, I have been staring at mine trying to figure out if I should powdercoat them black, or get them painted a darker gunmetal.

Soooo I'm going to drag this up from the dead since I've been playing around with powdercoating lately, and I've been using my old lobster claws as test victims... Anyone ever seen a OEM lobster claw like this lol?

That's what you guys call em? Lobster claws? I think they a little sexier than a lobster claw lol.
I have mines plasti dipped black and they look awesome on my SFP.
Are these really worth 900-1000? If so ill def sell mines because I want something other than stock and 19 inches.

Anyways Here you go:

When I was looking for my 2010 IS250, I saw 2 truffles (one each 2009 and 2010) with silver painted "lobster claws".
