the only thing that really gets me is that THAI NEVER once gave me credit for what his motor looks like. Mine was done exactly the way he has his done up, but about 6months before he even got into polishing

anyways...

thanks

yes anthony was my teacher/his engine inspired me to turn into a polishing *****. anthony get's lots of credit.
i got the intake manifold from 1max2nv for 300 plus shipping.i paid about 200 for a shop to swap it/ replace the seal and clean the tb. so the total was over 500. i was too lazy to do it myself.

you must take care of all the polish parts or else it dulls fast. this summer/ i ran my car in snow and salt and i think i will have to machine buff it come summer time. my car looks like hell. i hate winter.

just use elbow grease and lots of cans of mothers.

You can't polish composite plastic. You could get that dip in chrome though. Dipping plastic is much more expensive though. It's about $120 just to dip a plastic spark plug cover.
