Polished my MAF & TB... added some stuff. *PICS*

I re-polished my MAF and TB tonight, replaced the stock bolts w/ polished button heads, got the hazy clear coat off my radiator shroud, put the newly re-designed SLP lid on (injection molded, tighter fit, and not supposed to rub) and the SLP smooth bellow :) I've still gotta polish up the ac condenser and throw a coat of wax on the engine bay. I'm taking off the decals on my stainless covers and replacing them w/ etching. I'm also gonna make some polished stainless strips to cover the "corvette" on the frc's and etch CAMARO in them. Oh yeah, and replace some hex head bolts w/ polished button heads... whata' ya think?

Basically, I just use a dremle w/ a carbide grinding bit to knock down all the casting marks. Wet sand it to get it as smooth as possible. Hit it with an aggressive buffing compound and a 6" buffing wheel, then the same thing w/ a finishing compound. It takes a long time but looks great in the end!
