I like the last pic 
, although I'm not too fond of the purple 
but whatever floats your boat. It will be nice to see how it looks when complete. Is this going to be straight for show?

Except for engine machine work I have done all of it 100% myself including all the plating and anodizing. Wait till you see the intake when its finished.

polishing the chamber is a good thing... the carbon cant cling to it as easily, and the finer the surface, the less peaks to get hot....
with carbed cars, you dont want the intake runners perfectly smooth because you want the fuel to remain suspended in the air, and that requires a bit of a tumble near the walls.... but with fuel injected cars aimed like ours, i doubt it makes any diff at all....
