| Personally. I like the IC's and amtrans RE's with just the regular silver trim windows. The Thomas ER's buses with low headroom with black trim looks better for that bus, the silver trim just looks weird to me on the er's. Im not quite sure about the BB's RE's |

| We spec it on our HDX's but that is it so far, all conventionals are left with the standard window frame. |
If you have an International, you NEED customer service. |

| To me the silver trim looks old. I think the black looks realy nice on all buses. |

You must have seen CCSD's Thomas Saf-T-Liner ER's.
I like the black window frames, that BB AA RE Jeff and Kevin showed (CCSD concept bus?) looked pretty nice, but it takes a while to get use to. But I don't really mind if the BB AA RE or other blue birds have the silver or black. I saw a bus with the black posts fading away, about 5 years old I was guessing? I like the black on the Thomas' best. |

I think they meet the all black and yellow standard that way.
Our Bluebird dealer discourages them because he claims they are manufactured by Hehr. I didn't think they were still using Hehr but obviously, I may be wrong. |

| I believe our 2006 IC's have black on the interior window frames. |

| I prefer the silver, the black ones in my area seem to fade or come off and you can see the silver underneath, also people to seem to have a lot more windows off track or messed up on the black powder coated windows than the silver. |

Black powder windows or not
