That's kind of what I figured. I guess I'll be having those parts polished then. Thanks!

Regarding the GZ LIM, I would consider it, but I don't think they have an application for the 20B?

What I decided to do was to have the lower parts on the engine ceramic coated and the upper parts polished to have the best of both worlds:

I need to take a new picture since everything has been shined up but you get the idea.

^That's a really good idea! I will definitely be looking in to doing that. Thanks for the tip Mahjik.

P.S. Love the bling in the engine bay .

Right on, since the weather sucks right now you should do the new piping on your single turbo set-up too.

If you are not open to favorable comments why do you even bother posting pics for people to commemnt on? Rich you little baby. What else did I say to upset you?

I personally think polished parts look nicer. I am entitled to my own opinions am I not? Besides you guys are responding to comments I never made. I never mention anything about functionality of powder coat as opposed to ceramic coating. I thought they were chrome powder coated but either way I was commenting on your photos. I also never said anything about your parts looking like dogshit. So get your asses off your backs ladies.

I can't speak for anyone else Dave, but I was pretty clearly making a joke. Why exactly did you get your pantyhose in a bunch and direct it at me? Aunt Flo visiting ?

(^^fyi, another joke )
