I was inspired by this post and have begun polishing up stuff from the engine bay. I got the ac dryer done, as well as the brake lines. Right now I'm working on the fuel rails. Now that's a pain in the *** because of all of the nooks and crannies. Anyone can buy a billet fuel rail setup, but having the factory rail polished will look pretty trick.
I'll post some pictures this weekend. I'll have the new FAST intake sometime next week, and I'm still undecided on what color to paint it.
Any pictures of the engine bay when you had all of the chrome? I'd like to see the difference between the chrome and polished.

These are pretty shitty pictures but you can get the idea. I wasn't big on taking pictures back then. I'm not really huge on it now but that's pretty much because I didn't have much of a reason to take them. LoL
That should give you an idea of what it looked like. I was shocked, but I actually won the Hawk's Third Gen Award for best overall F-body at the F-body Gathering in Atlanta. This was G9 I think.
