FRC'S for v6's?

I love the intake, definitely not trying to hide that, just the valve cover area, all the fuel lines and wireing.

Got a good method of polishing the intake while on the car? Or maybe just the 3800 and the lines that run down it and paint the rest of it black or something?


How hard is it to take the upper intake off?

not to hard to take the upper off. You need to remove the MAP housing, alternator for room, and fuel rail. Then the upper comes off

What grit sand paper should I use? Start rough and work my way smoother? Where should I start?

for just the letters? It doesn't take much to polish them up. 400 or so would be fine and then some metal polish.

If you are doing the whole intake manifold then you would work your way up from 220, 400, 1000 or so. But then again there are different ways to doing it also depending on tools and machines that you have access too.

yea it shouldnt take more than 5 minutes to polish,i had mine polished. then i had the bright idea of using a permanant black marker to mark them black, worked for a short time and that faded. So then I thought hey, why not just paint them with a brush red, paint ate through the cup i was using and dripped on a bracket and on the intake. Some paint thinner later and a lot of sanding and im back to just the polished letters. Clean looking is the best route on a stock motor lol
