korndawg Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 I was just wondering if anyone has tackled the task of polishing their carbs, and if so, is it going to be as big of a pain in the ass as I think it is? Quote
Duner440 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 I think it looks kick ass when its done but I would never try it. There are a lot of spots on the carbs that would be really hard to get to. I thought about painting mine or having them pcd so they look nice. If they were polished you would have to keep polishing them to keep them nice. Too much up keep IMO. Good luck. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 lethaface polished his... but like duner said you got to keep polishing them to kep them nice, and with all those little spots , balls to that! Quote
