As much as i like bare aluminum and all it's bling it gives off it is a royal pain in the A** to polish.
Depending on the color and over all benefit of PC it's pretty much a no brainer.
Just make sure you test PC with the vendor before diving in head first.

C'mon I know you have some shots you haven't shared yet.

Seeing everyone powdercoating everything sparkley purple has to eat away at your soul a little bit...

How's the aero coming along?

Nice

widebodyseven, those nipples on your LIM are just passthroughs, there is no need to cap them off with vacuum caps. Just FYI
Thanks Goodfella
We talked on the phone before a while back when I had my first FD. This is still a work in progress so you might not see me till next summer.

Thats a big FMIC.
Do you have any issue with turbo response due to your long piping?
