That could look real nice.

You can always take them to a shop and have them polished.

I didnt have them chromed bc the guy told me that they would eventually turn blue bc of the heat.

they look pretty good polished.

sorry - no pic

I took mine to NAPA and had them blasted and then painted them with silver paint.

I pulled mine off this past spring. Soaked them down with gasket remover spray to take off the paint, then wheeled them out with aluminum polish. They look much better.

Blasting with small beads.

use coca-cola it works the best if their not in bad shape. or just sand blast them.
