here's ashot of my newly chromed manifold. wow. I need to clean the rest of my engine compartment! ....and get my engine cover painted black!

 

Sharp!

 

Looks Great, Whoever did it did a good job.

 

Southern Plating Specialties www.spschrome.com

 

How long did it take them to do the job??

 

wow.!!! i may have to drive down and get mine done also..they did a gr8 job!

 

looks sharp. +1 on the cost

 

Wow! Great job QuadCam!

That had to take a ton of aluminum smoothing and polishing before you could even start the plating process.

Basically, the aluminum needs to shine like that before you can put the chrome plate on.

 

how much did it cost?

 

one week.

 

I did alot of the sanding prior to taking to SPS. I was working it with a DA sander and also my dremel. I had to smooth, but I was not about to finish the job!

you are right.....they have to polish it like glass......them copper plate it......then polish the copper......then nickel plate it......then polish the nickel.

Finally, they can chrome plate it......and it 's done!!!!

 

it was $300, but I did alot of the initial sanding prep work.

just today, I saw a website selling polished stock plenum covers for $400 plus they wanted your core.

 

For those looking for a polished plenum, check out intensepower.com. It's 480$ and you get 200$ back for your original plenum: 280$ in total.

 

Looks nice!

 

wow that looks great!

 

I really like the chromed plenum vs. the polished beacuse the chrome really has a lot more lustre with that part.

 

Dude get the SS nut & bolt kit to compliment the entire engine bay

 

I have one of those sets, too much $ for what it is. You might as well get some from the local hardware shop.

 

MRC will sell you a polished one for $225 plus your core.
