This is what I had done to mine - powdercoated the intake and runners, polished the plenum.

I paid around $200 + including shipping (don't remember exactly how much), he sent me a set, I sent my cores back when I was done. Looks great.

This is his email address: RLthrasher@aol.com

Can't find his phone number, will look for it.

I am happy with my setup....

Dyno Don can hook you up with the guy who does his coating on his headers. But once you see a set of his headers you probably wont want that Edelcrock junk anymore. I know of two people who did.

There's a litle hole in the wall shop I use for polishing that is in Anaheim. I can't even remember the name of the place, I just drop crap by there and and it gets done beautifuly. A buddy of mine is the president of the sheet metals union and refered me to this shop years ago. They are on Kraemer Pl. (Parallel to Kraemer Ave.) just north of LaPlama ave.

Tkae the 91 to Kraemer N.
1st light is LaPalma turn left (West)
1st street is Kraemer Pl. turn right (North)
They are about 3 small building up on the right side of the street from the corner of LaPalma. Just a hole-in-the-wall shop with a few parking spaces in front.

Last thing I had done was my strut mounts about three years ago. Cost me something like $60 for both.
