I'm not to sure if they make them, but you could polish it out. I am not sure what they are made of(i think its mild steel?) but a polished aluminum would look great(IMO).

Why not chrome it? That is what I did. I ordered a bare one from BMR and took it to the local chrome shop and had it done. All in all I have less in my chrome STB than what it coss for a Hotchkis one.

Since you cant polish steel I would have to agree that chroming it would be the way to go.. If it wasnt for the fact that my Hotchkis bar is a nice pewter color it would be chromed already.. I imagine I will have it done next summer for a change of pace <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Chroming a BMR bar shouldnt cost too much.. a Hotchkis type would cost a bit more since it is more intricate (more hand work)..
Hope this helps..
