Awesome, I would have to order them from a long ways away so if they are garbage let me know!

THanks a million!

Thats alot of work, but if you got the patients that awsome. I would shoot myself half way through

it wasnt as bad as i thought but im not also going for a perfect mirror finish. Im going for polished aluminum look not chrome look. I dont like chrome but i like the shine of polished aluminum. You can stratch polished aluminum and not have to resand and polish it again bc the aluminum is surpose to look like that. All i used was a dremel with a sanding wheel not the pads and a wire bruch that you put on a drill. After i got the hand of it and trial and error it didnt take that long. It only took 3.5 hours and thats with my errors too so im thinking i can do the intake in a day or so i just need to get a smaller wire brush to use on the drill for the ports
