Place to buy a polished UIM

I remember once seeing a place that sold UIM's that were already polished. I would like to buy one along with the polished Efini "y" pipe that rx7store.net has. Does anyone know the site?

I don't know of any such sites.

At one time I did polishing and people are still asking me about.

I no longer do it anymore, so everyone can please stop asking I would really appreciate it.

LOL sorry i didn't mean you. It's just that anytime a post comes up about polishing. My name is usually mentioned and I get flooded with PM's.

So I figure I'll nip this in the bud.

Huy is right, the polishing work these guys do is great. They did my alternator a few months back, and it looks fantastic!

It looks almost as good as my UIM and TB that Twin Turbo Teddy polished, but he's not doing them anymore so don't ask!

Bi State Customs charges 200 for the UIM and Throttle Body.

Give them call if you want it done,

If you are looking for a place to buy a UIM already polished, I think Rotary Performance stocks them, and sells them with exchange for your stock UIM. Call them and find out.

Jason,

Is that price with exchange? I have a friend looking for one, but his car is a daily driver, so he can't send it off to be polished. If you stock them, that works out great for him.

Thanks!]
