Default polished intakes?
Has anyone ever ordered a polished intake I was wondering will they keep there shine or will they just fade from the heat of the motor. :confused:

They keep their shine very well. Just have to occaisionally clean it up with some Windex. AVOID SIMPLE GREEN! It will EAT into the polished finish.
I've had a polished intake on a car for 10 years now, daily driving it, and it still looks fabulous every time I clean it up.
