    They are still amazing looking especially in person. We still are polishing the barrels, lips and bolt's so you'll get to see some chiney things.

    The barrels, lips and bolt's have not been polished yet. Of course they look bad- we only painted the faces.

    Thanks, I just really enjoy the color so I do not mind passing up the polished face. I also chose to replace the valve stems w/the Mugen items from |I|C|B|. Should have those soon as we finish the barrels.
