Rep Power: 321 /\ Yes it is stock, but the CF Spark Plug Cover will be in next week along with the Battery Tie Down, Oil Cap, and Radiator cap, no sense in buying a SRI for my car seeing as i'm turboing my car.

Rep Power: 321 Well for one, i don't let it get dirty, but i use Meguairs Cockpit shine on the stuff. Just scrub all the metal and just try to hit everything.

Rep Power: 321 yea gearbox, i really thought about that, what did you use to polish it up? I need to do that before the show. PS pump seems to have some **** all over it, like spots, can that stuff come off? Also the head cover is got some stuff on it, what should i use?

Rep Power: 812 get some mothers billet metal polish. its expensive but does a great job. it turns metal into chrome nice and shiny. if you have never polished metal before, what you do is get a pack of detail cloths, use one and put a little bit of polish on a small surface and just rub 20x or more times til the cloth starts to turn black then with a new cloth you go over that part to get all the polish out. if the metal is really bad, you may need to repeat a few times until it becomes shiny.
here is what i did so far. not much but its a start. and yea the rain ruined the heat shield already but i wiped it off with a cloth after taking the pics. you can get it shiny but not as much as the intake. the polish is by the intake in the first pic in a small jar.
