My Forge Twintercooler is anodized black. It has been around for a while though.

Yes, most people don't know it. Some even don't believe it if you tell them about it. :wink:

TBH, yes. Also the fine honeycomb metalwork gets knocked out of shape with stone impact as I guess it would even in non-anodized. Luckily this cosmetic damage doesn't affect it and id still somewhat hidden away behind the bumper.
