Trying to get him to end auction early on the polished one

79BIG10 · 01-23-2003, 03:47 AM

Damn if they keep being that cheap when I'm ready for interior work I might have to grab one

79BIG10 · 01-23-2003, 04:03 AM

Here's the manufacturers website http://www.empiremotorsports.com I found that the part number is the same for both satin and polished. When you check out you decide which you want. Same price for either finish.

That's a great site Brandon! I'll have to remember that one for when I'm finishing my interior out (10 years down the road)

Low87 · 01-23-2003, 10:36 AM

I have all the polished pieces in my interior, they are a royal PITA. Everyone touches them, everything stains them. I heard the best show detail tip from guys selling this at Texas Heat Wave. Their polished billet was spotless, not even a fingerprint from everyone touching it. They said they have their show pieces chrome plated to stay clean looking. When I can get to it, I'm sending mine to get plated too!

BigRed · 01-23-2003, 10:46 AM

Good info Greg! Nice to hear from others experiences with these.

Myride · 01-23-2003, 12:07 PM

LOHRTBT · 01-23-2003, 01:19 PM

This is true greg...but very costly....at least around here it is. Lemme know if you find a cheap place to chrome billet!!

Iwill have it done!!

79BIG10 · 01-23-2003, 04:44 PM

Last time I checked the bidding was up to $45.69. for the polished and $51.00 for the Satin, one with 4 days left to go. I was outbid at 40.00 but am kinda glad after I found out the guy has three complaints against him, and a new one is only $116.20. It will be interesting to see how high the bidding goes.

LOHRTBT · 01-25-2003, 04:53 PM

screw it.....lol

Silveradoshorty · 01-30-2003, 09:43 PM

Auction ended, winning bid $100.00 bucks. Ouch

LOHRTBT · 01-30-2003, 09:49 PM
