Re: Polished Runner pic (BlackRocket)
BlackRocket, My finger tips were a little sore and I think I sanded my finger prints off,Ha Ha. My valve covers are polished. I did the same thing I did to my runners on them. They are Magnesium so they do develop a white haze, but you can polish them with metal polish and bring the shine back out with very little effort. All that polished crap is a real eye catcher but it does require a little touch up every now and then. :cheers:

Looks great! Hopefully mine will look as good in a couple months. If my parts ever get here so I can polish them.

Re: Polished Runner pic (KYVette90)
I did my plenum and covers but I couldnt get the runners off due to the fuel rail and rear drivers side bolt so they still look like SH. :rolleyes:
