man thats nice

That's awesome. I've been contemplating doing it myself - but I doubt I can do as nice a job as what was done for your throttle body. Where did you get it done? Prices?

looks good

I got everything done for $280, I think the price was good for the work they do, the shop I took it to does excellent work as you can see. If i paid $340 they would have filled in the underside, I didn't want to pay for that cause you never see it when it's bolted on the engine.

Also, the name of the shop is Southwest Polishing located in Mesa, AZ, they got the parts back to me in 3 days... I wasn't in too much of a rush, but they had them done 2 days earlier than I expected.

I think that they could have done some more sanding before they polished them out. Looks decent but if you can't see your reflection then you got some more polishing to do.

I took them at an angle so i couldn't see my reflection =P I'll get some more later in the sunlight =P Yours looks nice though, hehe

Yea I don't want to be harping on them. Just sayin. They look nice.

its just something about these polished threads that gets me all gitty. i regret not polishing my tb and secondary inlet pipe(dont know the correct name hahaha). looks great though, i love it!

Dang $240 is a lot. I got mine done for $60. my shroud for $50. INtercooler for $40. y-pipe for $20. Just go to some little place where they need the money but are skilled because thats all they know how to do their whole life. here is mine

Damn thats bling bling, lol. What part of CA, I might take my alternator, and waterpump etc etc over there.

Southern California. San fernando valley. I lvie in northridge but polisher is in pacoima

Sounds about right... so why did you post this?

"the shroud itself is almsot 300 withotu labor or anythign just teh material and polishing."

:bigeyes: :bling:

GOTCHA BITCH! Haha

I Just can't wait to see what it looks like on the engine =P I start putting everything back together tomorrow, haha.

That looks fabulous. :)

flippen sweet man :bigthumb:

truly amazing how fast the same polished goodie will rapidly oxidize...yet another maintenance item...in a few days wipe it off with polish and you'll get that nice black aluminum oxide all over your shop rag

it's a world of constant decay

Wow, you have something against polishing? lol Wonder how it'd look to polish it to get rid of the casting dimples, and then ceramic coat it with a chrome like finish.

-Alex

for a whole year my alternator and uim still look great up with minimal polsihing. its the r1 strut bar i find oxidizing though.

nice job... who did your polishing?

Jeremy

Check the first page on the thread =P I got the shop info there.

Ahh I see it :banghead:

Jeremy

Well he did say polishing and materials so maybe the aluminum was $250 :D

In that same thread he was saying a majority of the cost was the aluminum, so atleast he's consistant.

Should we just turn this into a roasting thread? =P
