No compund or anything, just some air in a can to blow off the dust and dirt. And I never took anything off the car, except I did remove my custom painted covers, so they wouldn't get damaged.

    If you don't want down time for more than it takes to do the swap of the polished one, then buy a core and send it in ahead of time.

    How much does something like that roughly cost to do labor wise Farns?

    Yeah I need to send mine to Farns to be done. Just too many projects on the table at once for me. Looks sweet when its high polished!

    I'd do this but I already have a TripleEdgePerf case on my car. I'd have to get another custom TEP case w/ 72mm opening and extra rotor pack to do this project. I already have an extra snout so i'd be good there. I'd have another case which most likely I couldn't sell and I really don't want to put it on the other GTP.

    How long did that take you just out of curosity?

    Only took me a couple of hours to do. If you want to spend even more time on it and make it look even better you can. There are some areas that were a little harder to get to than others. Like trying to get under the fuel rails.
