wow that looks amazing !
One thing I don’t understand, how did they get that finish on there? Did they use special equipment? I can’t imagine they went from 80grit to 1200 sand paper that must have taken them ages!
I have polished parts in my engine bay but never come out as bling as that.
Am I missing something? Maybe I need to put in more elbow grease.
your housings look fantastic tho.

haha no its not exactly 50 bucks, im just assuming its that much..is it supposed to be more??
and no i dont have a PFC yet..and the shop i go to is a reputable shop, known for their crazy swaps and the infamous 900hp 20b rx8, also the builder of red-rx7's 20b beast..
and if i mess it up, that means i have to fiddle with it, cant drive it and if i still cant get it right, tow it to a shop and have them do it which i should have done the first time..
thats why sometimes i rather pay to have it done 1 time and its right..
