I think what you might be talking about is Chrome or polished fuel rail covers or intake cover, what i am talking about is the fuel rail itself that is connected to the injectors. i have acces to making them and i want to see the interest in it, i will be posting pictures on here soon.

Hey no problem, easy mistake, because one the most FAQ's are about Fuel Rail covers.

That looks good! I just finished polishing some just like that, it turned out a little better than I expected. Powder coating would also be a nice route on those...

I've had mine polished for about a year now - the one on the car and I have 2 more sitting on the shelf that are polished. They polish up well and the up keep on them is not hard once you get a good polish on them, just wipe them off every so often. Sorry I do not have pictures as all the pictures that I have taken you can't really see the quality of the polish <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Ok guys here is the score, i can either have you mail your existing rail to me and i can do the polishing and have it back in less than two weeks and i will cover shipping back to you. OR i can obtain a New rail once i recieve payment and have it to you in less than a week of payment.

here are the prices.

Old rail cleaning and polishing-$50

New rail-$200

as i found out the GM rail is Expensive and unfortunately the only place to find it so far. my opinion unless you want a new rail i would prefer to just get them in and I will clean all of the gunk out of it as well, polish them and then send them out.

i do have to warn you there are a couple nooks and crannies on the rail that are to tight to get into to polish.
