Polished Stillen FSTB pics

My polisher finally got around to it. The ends had to be chrome.

I also put a new coat of paint on my plug cover.

Re: ends

Chrome dipping those two brackets were $$$. The price is $100. Powedercoating would be the cheaper way to go. I'm going to powdercoat rest of the misc metal brackets that I can take off the car.

looks awesome tony. top notch job like everything else on your car.

two suggestions.

one - what about the fstb bolts - any chance of finding chrome bolts in that size? i doubt it, but that would make it stand out even more.

two - why are you painting the whole valve cover red? have you tried leaving the nissan letters and inner part black? you might like the contrast.

just two ideas, but again, it looks fantastic man.

I think Eastwood sells an abrasive device where you can put bolts or nut in. Turn it on and it will polish small parts. I might look into that since there are a bunch of small parts I want polished. As for the plug cover, I used to have it black/red. I got lazy and didn't feel like masking off the black part anymore
