Default Polished or chrome HVAC *****, where to buy?

like the title says, I'm looking for the 3 ***** for the ac controls and 1 for the headlight. I remember seeing a pic of a ta with them but can't find it anymore. The closest I've seen someone selling is thunderracing but they sell it RAW-non anodized. What does that mean? thanks in advance.

if you can't find them polished, but can find them just in a bare satin send them to me and I'll show polish them for you.

Sorry, if I remembered I would have. I've seen them while on my quest for interior upgrades.

yea thanks but they're in satin(ws6store). Almost the same as thunders. I would want them polished but I guess I'll just have to buy them like that and have someone local polish them for me.

You could do that yourself. A little polish and some elbow grease and your there. It's really not hard to do.

thanks for the suggestion. What tools would I need? I've never polished anything before and don't want to screw it up since they're pretty expensive.

Meg's metal polish works great. A dremel tool with variable speeds & buffer attachments will make the process easier, but not impossible with out it.
