Default Port Polish

Does anyone know a shop that can do this in the MD/VA/DC area? Cost? How long does it take? Thanks.

** UPDATE ** I wasn't satisfied with quotes from other shops... I've contacted SGPRacing by email and waiting for a response. I might just swap out the engine for one of their rebuilt racing motors.
