Default Polished Water Pump?

I am looking for a polished water pump to replace my stock one. (Stock pump looks like POS) Can anyone point me to a vendor that sells LS-1 water pumps allready polished?
If not, could you refer me to a good shop that will polish one for me?

Thanks for the help guys...

Any vendor that sells Meziere electric pumps can sell you a fully polished or chrome one. If you're gonna shell out the cash, might as well upgrade at the same time.

The polished one looks nice, but the place that sold me my EWP said not to go with it if it sees nasty weather or the finish will get messed up so I ordered the clear coated version

You could always get the polished one and have a shop powdercoat a clear on it. It'll shine forever.

I have a stock 98 pump that I polished. It should be for sale soon. If you get yours polished I would have someone do it. It's a real pain to do. I ordered a polished meziere in place of it. I'm too cheap for chrome.

I got my pump today. Really nice looking piece. I bet that sucked polishing the stock one. I can just see that taking forever.

Exactly... This is what I wanted, Now I just need to find a vendor that sells a polished pump. Or, if anyone can refer me to a shop that offers polishing and powdercoating services, I will buy a pump and send it to them...

I appreciate your input guys, Thanks...

The vendors do not have the Meziere polished pumps yet. Thunder Racing has a bunch on order and is taking orders.
