I mean honestly i think its a given...the polished look's hot...but then i wonder if i feel like blowing a entire day on this

stop biting off bill haha

[CHAOS]

that second pic is a ****ty polish job... it doesnt look finished.

[OMGz Turbo]

im not biting off bill you bastard hahahhaa.

Ya i just wanted to give a rough idea of what i wanted, i really want to do it but dont want the down time

[jdm free]

the valve cover looks good in black, but thats a ugly intake mani. i would say polish it. stock things rarely look nice in an engine bay.

Looks like youve been looking at to many other polish threads hahahaha


Like i said in my other threads about this....Do it and be baller

[GOULET]

not to polish.

[max2k1]

I say dont polish. Powdercoat it ... but instead of wasting time and money on looks. Maybe you should make your neon fast like mine was :wink:

[3000gtvr4tt]

if thats the only thing your going to polish I would say no but the engine bay always look hot when theres a bunch of polished parts in there

[SvicksTc]

Well i mean if your going to go through all the trouble of polishing the intake mani, i dont know why you wouldnt do the valve cover on top of it to make some bling bling

unless you have the valve cover powder coated

[IdriveBad]

Just spray paint everything. Close your eyes and *bam*. Done. Seriously though, the polish looks nice. Powdercoat the VC.

[SovXietday]

Waste a ...day polishing it? I don't think so, lol. It'll take you longer than that.

[OMGz Turbo]

Okay let me say this, my engine bay doesnt look as boring as the one posted. My valve cover is powder coated blue, i have a showparts.net injector cover, blue intake i mean its not boring to say the least....i just wanted something more and honestly i like the polished look over powder coated.....

Unless its LPC's starburst or whatever the hell it is...that **** is hot.

This picture was about 3 years ago, but it looks close but ALOT better. And all the blue looks close the flash/****ty camera made it look worse
