Should I polish my Greddy FMIC end tanks?

Hey Guys,
I started polishing the IC pipes for my newly acquired Greddy FMIC and I was thinking if I should polish the end tanks...Some thoughts I have are

- May attract too much attention (unpolished or polished I think a FMIC will do that anyway)
- Does it get all grody from regular driving? (I only drive it on the weekend when the weather is good)
- I just don't know if it looks good or gaudy.

If you have any pics of polished FMICS can you post them so I can have an idea.

Thanks.

i polished my greddy 2 row and it looks good. i think it is easier to keep clean because grime wont be getting in the rough surface that the greddy comes with. check here for some pics http://www.njprecisionimports.com/

Well, I didn't polish the end tanks...I polished one side and decided that I didn't like how it looked for outside the car...seemed a bit too ricey for me so I gave it a smooth sanded finish...Here's the finished product

It looks good the way you have it, considering your car is silver. The two go together well. Polished wouldve looked out of place IMHO.

Good call. You have had a biatch of a time keeping up with the polish anyway, being exposed to the weather like that.
Looks really clean
