I got sick of the scratched and dull SLP CAI tube so I decided to polish it. I used a couple different grits of sandpaper, a buffer kit from sears, and a ton of elbow grease. I think it turned out great and looks just as good as GMPP version.

Here are the pics

 

VERY nice ! !

 

Ain't nuthin wrong with that!

Seriously, that looks really good! I have a Moroso CAI that's made of plastic, so I can't polish . Oh well, I guess I could paint it if I wanted to

 

Looks great! I'd like to see a pic of it installed, if you have one.

 

I think you did a really nice job! I tried that a year and a half ago with my SLP cold-air kit. I bought it used for $60 from some guy and the finish was horrible on it. Anyways, I had it sandblasted for $5 and tried polishing it but it was taking forever and I'm an unpatient man! I ended up getting it powdercoated along with my intake manifold. You did a real bang-up job though! Looks great!

Mine is the plain ol' black powdercoat...

looks sweet!

 

mmmm....

 

nice. My friend did the same thing to his car. Looks good.

 

Hey thanks guys. It did take a while, I wanna say I have about 8 hrs in it total after the powdercoating came off. I had all day with it being 8* out here in Buffalo so I didnt mind. I dont have any pics of it installed yet since the car has been basically gutted for the 383 build up and A4-M6 swap. This spring I will throw some up though.
