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?

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.

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

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