Improving the MAF appearance
Improving the MAF appearance My MAF is stock and is painted to match the car but its not to pretty and over time the paint get scratched. I want to dress it up and thought about taking the ends apart and polishing them or chroming them? Can the ends come off easy for me to do the work and then install them?
I even thought about buying the 3.5 ported one from GM that's polished.
Would this be a good upgrade or not worth the $200?
Any ideas or pics of yours since I'm getting ready for show season.
Thanks

Just polish them, that was the first thing I polished on my car. Real easy to do, just start with as ruough a grit as needed to get rid of the casting and work your way up. Use some aluminum polish and they will shine real nice. Good peice to learn how to polish on because you can take it off and put it back on real easy.

I know that chrome powder doesn't look like real chrome, I powdercoat out of my shop. I will be powdercoating some MAF in a week they are going to be red though, I'll look for some pics of parts that are powdercoated chrome.
Just found out I don't have any pictures of mine, but I found some links to pictures of polished MAF ends.

It really isnt that dificult, like I said before, If you want to learn how to polish, these are good pieces to start on.

Those MAF ends look bad-***. I tried to clean mine up with steel wool. After a ton of elbow grease, they barely even look clean, let alone shiny. I had no idea how nice they could be made to look.
Here are a couple recent shots of mine that ~Joshua did. I too wanted to do it myself but after talking to him and others about what is involved I changed my mind. Joshua can give you step by step instructions.

Know who can shine them with a quick turnaround? or where I can buy a polished ends? WS6 store don't carry them anymore.
please, can someone send me step by step instructions on how to polish things things up like that? Also, will porting and polishing the inside of it help, or will it screw up the tune of my car?
