Great job. Was that hand polishing or do you have a drill or something?

Uhmmm... unfortunately I am not putting this on my car. I already have ETS intercooler pipe. I did this just for fun and now it is going into a box with my other OEM parts.

Just hand polishing. Mothers polish made it way to easy.

I did this on the OEM UICP and LICP yesterday with similar results. Also works great on every other little bit of metal in the engine bay.

While I had the bumper off I did my own fog light delete with some black spray paint and similar to OEM mesh from Lowe's. It is certainly not the same but it's very close. Especially with the paint.
