Perhaps Z1 will carry these and offer to powdercoat them to buyers.
Cleaning the filters would depend on where you live. Dusty places near deserts obviously more so than cleaner air like ... in places where the air is cleaner.

Z1 will be getting a set for them to mess around with.
We want their input as a dealer as well. The guys over there are very cool and have a good business going, so if all works out and they like the kits, I think they would be an amazing asset.
The brushed is just a finish I really like. They are easily cared for and no need to worry about scratches...just use a 3M pad and she is good to go. Having said that, we will offer polished or p-coat in the final run. I personally opt for the brushed, as I like that finish, but it may not be for everyone. I actually first saw the brushed finish from a company in the Subaru market, and thought it was pretty cool...not really a cost related thing as the other finishes are not really expensive. The custom color runs can be a little bit, but definitely doable.
Here are some pics of our EVO X pipe kit that we did in colors....
This was our EVO kit release..the brushed here is not what you would get now....that was a few steps unfinished, but you get the idea......
