Default Super-Ram install

Just bought a Super-Ram and want to polish it befor I install it, any suggestions? It seems like it is powder coated, do I need to sand it and then polish it? Also any tips on the install would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

:confused:

If it is powder coated now you are going to have a hard time getting that stuff off. Did you Super Ram come with directions?

I have directions someone sent me for installation. I can fax them over if you need that..

If your just wondering about the polishing... If its powdercoated, get it sandblasted to get the pc off, then polish it up (check the C4 parts/sale forum and look under JD's post for info on getting it polished)

Goodluck
Matt

Is it grey in color and really porous?(Thick looking casting) If so, that's more than likely how it came.

I Agree with Rich though, if it is powdercoated...it'll be difficult to remove. That stuff bonds really well.

You'll love how it looks when it's polished :cool: It's like having a mirror under your hood :yesnod:

Here's the place Rich(corvette0096) set me up with:

JP Polishing
12209 NE 4th Plain Road
Suite F
Vancouver Washington 98682

360.885.0587(Shop)
360.885.1032(Fax)
503.260.2998 Jeff Pledger

There you have it. I would use them again(I'm actually going to have them polish my valve covers and throttle body soon) in a heartbeat.

:cheers:

JD 90 383.....What is a "ballpark" price for having the superram polished?

Mine was done for $150. That is an incredible price, and the polish job was top notch.
