Default Pics of my polished intake...

Hey gang,
I've been meaning to post these, but have been really busy. I put quite a bit of work into this, so let me know what you all think!

Before with just a little polish work done...


Bloody hell! Where'd my intake go?


Still missing...


Whew, found it! All pretty and polished...


Closer look...


Intake back in, with the VVT-i contollers and part of the coolant manifold also polished...


Another angle, kinda bright...


Last shot, with a little more contrast...


Hope you all enjoy!

looks beautiful!

great job, and I'm glad to see you still have fingers left to type after polishing your intake!

I tried it once on another car I had, and it is not easy!

Congratulations

David
