Default Polishing Intake Manifold

I have a 05 Rsx Type S, and I have an RBC Intake Manifold that I bought for it. I would like to have the manifold polished. I have been looking around and trying to find a shop that I could call and get an estimate from. However, I have had 0 luck and was wondering if anybody could help me out and refer me to a shop or tell me of their experiences with getting parts polished. Thanks

Look in the Yellow Pages for metal finishing companies if you haven't already. Don't know if there are any listed, but that's what they are usually listed under.

If your looking for a polish for looks then you can save money and do it yourself, if your looking for polishing the inside, check out Abacus Racing they worked some on my 4g63 mani a few years back

i want it polished for looks. I was gonna do it myself, but to be honest i really dont feel like doing it. It looks like a pain in the butt, and i read a diy somewhere and.... yeah i just dont wanna mess with it, so that is why im trying to find a shop that will do it for me

Here's my 3 minutes of time donated to helping you out today:

Google told me this: http://www.zeemachines.com/index.html

Also do a search for (and then call) the powdercoating places that everyone asks about 3 times a week on here. Many powdercoating places polish also.

Also look up McKay's Plating Company in the phone book. I don't even live in VA anymore and I found that, without a phone book.
Also look up Guild Platers Inc in Louisa, they advertise decorative polishing too.

Have you really not done any legwork on this other than making a forum thread? I'm not trying to be a dick, but I don't think you've actually tried to find anyone yet.

ok guys, i have tried searching.... i found a motocycle place , but wasnt sure if they would do a car manifold or not. I have not called any powdercoating places because i didnt realize that they did polishing there. I have also been asking all of my friends and people at work if they know anywhere that do polishing...nobody knows. Im SOO sorry for not knowing everything that you guys know. I really appreciate the help from some people that have given me some useful information, but how come everything i alwasy hear about vadriven members is that they are straight up dicks, and i guess that seems to be my conclusion also...but to those who have helped... thanks
