I'm selling a set of turbines that are near perfect. If your interested go to the parts for sale section and search "turbines." There are pictures of each wheel there.

yeah I was gonna do that in the beginning but decided to paint them black and polish the tops of the fins to make it look awesome haha but a complete polished turbine will take a heck of a lot of work to get in all the little cracks and stuff and IMO wouldnt look all that great.

it is very very hard to chrome the turbine wheels, although it has been discussed several times before, this is due to the polishing and finishing of the chrome on all the ridges of the turbine wheels. black powdercoat has yet to be seen, but i imagine that would look sweet as well.
