<VV> A/C Eyeballs

[airvair]

My supplier of center vent bezels has been developing a better plating 
system that promises to be more durable than what he has been using, and 
can allow replating of difficult, old plastic, like the side bezels. His 
supplier also switched to a different plastic resin, and this has caused 
delays. I'm awaiting my first batch of bezels with the new resin and 
plating process.

I am always interested in obtaining a better master for the center vent 
bezel. One of these days, we'll need to create a new mold, which is why 
the request for old cores. I don't replate them anymore, as they would 
STILL be as brittle as glass, and we can cast new pieces.
