(Moderator's comments: There doesn't seem to be anything new regarding the construction of stainless facias except personal notes back and forth at this point. Obviously they will reduce or eliminate any low speed impact resistance but there are a few who think the all stainless look would be something worth persuing regardless. In any regard, until there is more to add for the group I'd encourage private converstaions with skipper and the rest. I'm killing the subject for now.) actually, i hadnt thought of that! see thats why i put it out for a round table! i think we can come up with something that looks great and is very functual! ill look into it! thanks.
