Polished Throttle Bodies
With all the talk of polished throttle bodies lately, I would like to know how to polish the OUTSIDE of my throttle bodies??? How cool would this look with chrome smoothies? I am not too concerned with the inside, I can't "see" that anyway! [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]

Re: Polished Throttle Bodies
I would think you would polish them like you would with anything else.

What is it that they are made of?

Re: Polished Throttle Bodies
They're aluminum aren't they?

Why not just chrome them? Seems like they would be a bitch to polish.

They would have to be polished smooth enough to chrome, so 95% of the work would already be done. So there is no real need to chrome them then.

Re: Polished Throttle Bodies
Does the Viper realize any performance gains with a polished TB?
Guy named Shaner does a lot of them for Corvettes with some performance gains mostly low end gains.
Thanks

If I am not mistaken Shaner ports and polishes his TBs.
