I thought about it but by the time all the pulleys are on and belt routed you will hardly see it. There's several pieces tugging at my heart strings for a polish but I had to draw the line at some point or I'd never get it done

Grip, i must say, this truck is going to be spectacular, and most likely win awards when entered into shows. However, i do think you've surpassed the point of no return for a daily driver. Not that your truck won't be daily driver reliable, which i'm sure it will be, but virtually impossible to keep all that bling clean and shiney all year round.

thanks bro


what do you guys think about getting the lower manifold polished? even with the fuel rail mounted it looks out of place to me now, thoughts? (getting it polished won't impact the install schedule)





keep in mind I will be running the carbon fiber valve covers

I don't know man, in one way it would look sweet, but in another way, it would make a huge contrast to the heads. Right now it kinda matches.. IMO anyway. Regardless, it looks badass!

At this point I think you would regret later if you dont do the lower intake. It will make the whole setup look even bigger if it was polished.
