Re: A LINK TO POLISH YOUR LS6 Was reading a magazine article, wherein they
went and sent out their aluminum intake to
get painted w/ silver paint. Idea being it
would look polished but be low maintenance.
I guess you could do that to the plastic
intake just as well, providing you can find
a primer that sticks.
They used some Mercedes silver paint code.

Re: A LINK TO POLISH YOUR LS6 Just for the info, in my opinion, the Holley ls6 intake looks sweet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> fully polished, really sets of a polished engine compartment. If I can find the pic i'll post it later on.
The only thing I don't like about the holley, is that raised area that says "holley", oh well

MARK IXZD 150 painted his silver (the composite LS6 type) and it came out VERY good..
As for the Holley logo on the aluminum one.. would it be that hard to make a nice billet piece of aluminum to fit over it that says whatever you like (LS1, 346cui, 5.7L, SS, WS6, etc..)??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: A LINK TO POLISH YOUR LS6 Now that's a damn good idea Steve, that Holley thing was the only thing keeping me from buying that damn thing, Can't believe I'm that dense <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Placing order now. Also the clearing it would help to a certain extent, but you would still have to keep it polished, just maybe longer inbetween <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Now just have to think of a plate to cover that. Was also thinking you could just sand/polish that Holley off, but I like the cover plate idea better... Thanks Steve.
