Polishing something that for most people wouldnt see is kinda retarted. It does look cool, on a Camaro you can see some of it but as soon as it gets dirty its going to drive you nuts. You can't even see it with the Trans Am bumpers.

It was like a buddy of mine polishing a LT1 water pump on a Fbody, looked cool but you will never see it unless your looking with the radiator removed. Only Impala and Caprices could show the bling.

IMO.

Good job none the less.

I'm in to little details on my car, and this is one of those things that I had time to do and it came out pretty nice considering I've never polished anything before. My SS is stock ride hight so the exhaust is fully visible. My car isn't a show-car but I'm entering it in the car show at the F-Body weekend next month and I think that my GMMG may stand out. Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm going to use my powerball to maintain it under the car.
