Polish or Powder Coat
Ok, so I got all the paint off of the IC. However, when I got it off, I started thinkin' it would look really nice polished, but VA does have a powdercoat that looks close to polish.... And I plan on getting some polished hard pipes for the turbos, a GReddy elbow kit, and polishing the UIM a bit myself. Should I polish or powder the IC? Here's some before and after pics:

Thanks, I guess I can wait, but you know how it is. Getting new parts you can't install is like finding a new hot girlfriend you can't screw yet.... You can't can't wait to get it in!

Im not a bling guy , i like simple , but good looking , there is too much bling out there now adays , everyone wants polished or chrome stuff ,
what ever floats your boat , this is just what floats mine , hahaha
If wade cant do it in time then powder coat would be no problem , and maybe this weekend if you needed it quick .
What ever you want , we can make it happen .
