jlong told me I could post some of his reference photos of the two Comms that the kit were made from if you want to try to match them. The second Comm has the back off of it in these photos so you can see all of the original glue etc... There are some more but these should get us started. We are in awsome Comm times

If John isn't selling parts, the wheel hubs can be gotten on eBay, and the swarovski jewels can be gotten at online stores.

Nice job on the Comm John!

The part I'm most looking for is the moire bezel, as the AA comm's version is, well, crappy. I don't know what John is and isn't able to do regarding licensing, etc., but I'm sure there would be a market for a kit including a bezel, hubs, etc.

Either way, these comms look beautiful!

Nothing like anticipation...

Or savoring the moment, no matter how brief...
