68 Camaro billet hinges--anodized or bare?

[tumper93]

Should I spend the extra $75 to have them clear anodized or is it a waste of money? I live in central NC and would hate for these things to get white and powdery and pit the aluminum finish. The other reason I ask is I once had a set of billet aluminum pulleys that weren't anodized or cleared and they did just that and looked horrific in a few years. I want to order these asap so I would appreciate any tips. I haven't seen any black anodized on camaros so I am not sure how they would look so....

I'd get them annodized, clear or black, just for the maintenance. They're not cheap, it's nice to know that they will look good down the road.

As for pics of the black annodized hinges:

Well, I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered the clear anodized finish which should be more of a brushed finish than polished which should go good with the Twistmachine fender struts and stuff. Thanks for the advise guys, even though I am still on the fince about natural or black cause they both look good!!! I am sure I will be happy with what I have though

I would go black, When I first bought mine they didnt offer it yet. so I brushed them and found out that the up keep was pretty bad. So I just ended up painting mine. But If I have you can do it now. I would get them anodized! :thumbsup:

Here is a picture of mine black,

I got the anodized clear ones which should be more of a brushed silver finish. I really like the black ones but only the frame and fenderwells are black!! the firewall and radiator support and ebgine are all blue, the color of the car.
