They'll look better longer if you'll have them coated.

^^^I agree. I am going to take mine off and have them coated. Engine temps are way to high. My windshield washer fluid just about boils. I would get it done before you put them on. Or at least wrap them with header wrap for a cheaper alternative. You wont see as good of results as coating them but it will be alot better than leaving them alone.
