Why buy a new heatshield for more than $100 if you can have your heatshield polished for less than an hour. All you need is a paint remover, steel wool brush and an aluminum polish. Then youre done with this.

I polished my stock one also but was tired of the upkeep of polishing it. I bought the Cusco one for $130 or so at Mach V. Looks 100x better and does not need to be polished, just wiped clean occasionally. The ARC is a lot more money, but I think the Cusco looks better and has very nice allen head hardware to replace the stock bolts.

I only polished mine once. After that I only wipe it out with a clean cloth.

I wanted a mirror finish and kept polishing the stock one like Solar has. It started to look dull and silver, not polished unless you keep after it. Either way, it's better than stock. I gave away my stock polished one.

Gonzo, you owe me your stock black one for the one I traded you.
