San Francisco Bliing Bling!!! [BIG pics]

I finally finished putting back together my car with the newly polished components and thought I'd post a few pics. I had Wayne @ http://www.phase2motortrend.com do all the polishing and chroming. Everything came out really well and now I'm thinking about getting my alternator, LIM, and other random stuff polished next time. I highly recommend them.

New stuff:
- Polished manifold, throttle body, ic, ic pipes, strut bar
- Chromed the strut bar ends
- Steering Wheel and other misc stuff

Tell me what you guys think!

Looks very nice!!!!

Hey if you want to get rid of the stock strut bar let me know. I have tried to find one for a long time and am tired of looking. I am willing to pay top dollar for it.


Thanks

Your car looks great! I really like the Momo wheel...and the Saab gauge panel.

Are you gonna sell the R1 strut tower bar?

I might be interested if so...

Later,
Patrick

Does bling mean something is shiny or polished?

Man, that car is in good hands.

hell yeah!

this silver 996 Turbo was seriously tearin' up both times i went. he ended up with the second best time of the day (on the 17th at the Coliseum). the best time was this older white 993 911 with supposedly a "race" engine (it was loud as f*ck too!). gotta show those cocky Porsche boys how its done (and im not making a generalization. they really were cocky)!

Wow, those pics are really sweet. I'm sure everyone wants to know how much you paid for all the polishing that was done, how about you break it down for us?

Wow, thats a really good example of how to keep an FD very clean and simple. Looks almost like it was brand new and off the show room floor. Very nice.

I looked at your website a couple of weeks ago.
Looks like all that work paid off handsomely.

Love it! Very nice. Didn't Wayne or Teddy talk you into polishing the secondary turbo intake pipe or the alternator housing?

Also, is that a real RE steering column gauge housing or a Pettit? Lastly, which Saab DIN gauge bezel did you get? There are two different ones: a metal one with the full bracket that slides into a DIN slot and a textured plastic bezel only with pop-out gauge plugs. TIA.

Again....velly nice. Should lend sunglasses out at tech inspection.
