Default Thinking about ordering A BBK LS1 Intake...

Ive been contemplating between the BBK intake and the Weiand. I have decided to go with BBK for looks and the great feedback people have gotten on this product. I am going with the 85mm setup. Im just not sure if I should get the normal one and then have someone professionally polish it or wait for the polished one to come out? What do yall think

Polished- if you can afford it. I think they're out now- somewhere. I bought the silver powder coat.

The standard intake is kinda a silver titainium in color and is very close to the color of your car. I think it would look very good as is.

That looks great but this is actually going on my White SS. The engine bay is all polished and carbon fiber so I want to keep that going. I think this polished piece would really add to that.
