All you need is a air powered DIY grinder with polishing wheels and polishing compound... of course... you use that after hand wet-sanding it for a week... but still... I worked my $11.50 ebay valve cover over in my kitchen sink, polished it, and it turned out to be the nicest part on my car.

They cleaned me out good, took my tennis bag with 3 200 dollar racquets in it, my bel 980, my wheel locks (but left my week old rota c8s) and about 200 of my cd's. I got retail on everything back from insurance and bought everything at wholsale so i made some cash. Good thing they didn't steal my leather SI rear seats, those are a BITCH to find and GSR's don't fit.

LOL! might as well take the socks that comes with the shoes if its a pair right? heheheh i was also wondering about painting my intake pipe also. i had a polished one and my filter was a ractive with clear blue heatshield. i dont like the filter but it was free. i painted the heatshield blue my valve covers blue and my headers shield also. im going to take some pics and post it. i just tried painting them just to see if the paint would stick. or what with happen to the paint due to engine heat.
