1st attempt at polishing TPI parts
Thought I'd post some pictures of my first attempt at polishing aluminum TPI parts, specifically the Plenum extension piece I just received recently from Hawks.
I've attached before, middle and finished pics (the finished pic has the recessed grooves painted white).
In April I will do the rest of the intake as soon as I get the T/A out of storage....winter sucks !!
