Biohazard

I think it's just the plastic aging and becoming more brittle. Then there's handling care. The dupli-color stainless steel provides a great finish in terms of color and an aesthetically pleasing amount of metal flake.

I used Mother's mag polish on the aluminum strip but those strips were pretty badly pitted from years of highway driving. They aren't perfect, but they do look..... authentic. You can definitely tell these aren't repro's.
