Shaner is not a bad one either. I'd go Shaner S3

^ I hear a lot of good things about that one. I ran an SLP ported/polished stocker for the longest time. The cleaned up the outside and stamped SLP in the top. I don't think they even make it anymore.

I have this one...

I'm very happy with it. You can't beat the price, and the customer service was great...I got it within a few days, and I got my core refund right away as well.

Also they have a great marketing dept, lol.

Well it's on sale, but I realized after I posted that the OP was looking for polished as well. This one is only ported.

AFAIK polishing the inside of the TB makes no diff, but polishing the outside is an appearance mod that some people like to do. Maybe the OP is going for aesthetics as well.

Personally it makes no difference to me, but some people like that sort of thing.

Good luck on getting a pm/call/anything back if there is a problem with your product.

I have dealt with him twice.. after this past time, I will never deal with him again.

Really Lemons? I'm NOT doubting you, but that's the Potz guy, not Jantzer. Sure you're not confusing the two?

If you've had problems with the Potz guy, please let me know, cause I was going to refer a friend to him since he can't afford a Shaner. (Cheap ***, I know)

EDIT**

Christ Almighty. Nevermind. You were talking about the 408Trans am one. Never heard of him. Anyways, just stay away from the Jantzer stuff. Heard WAY too many people getting burned in the past.

^ Are there bad reviews on Jantzer's work/customer service?

There were a few threads about him on here. I'd have to dig to find them, but apparently it was due to his unwillingness to complete jobs after being paid for them. I know Blanco had a few issues....
