You dont really have to sand it, but the collector thing for the AC, I dont know what its called. Its on the passenger side. Its teh polished looking thing in the shape of a cylinder.



You can also do all the metal lines coming from the brake fluid thing.

ya I guess I could, it would be hard to get into every little cranny though. and also I'm pulling off the plenum to put on an AFPR, so while I have that off I figured I'd take off the runners.

Here is my current project
This is my fav that I've done so far. I also made a custom emblem for the plenum and welded it on,my advatar has the pic of it. I've also done my altenator and throttle body and the gun. I polished my valve covers and had them chromed at work.

If its the Stainless Steal next to the bumper cover:



Its to support the bumper cover do to the lack of a crash bar/bumper that has been removed to cut weight.
