Someone posted a few days ago how easy it was to polish off the factory paint on the fuel rails and I have an extra fuel rail so I tried it out. All of this was done by hand and with good old Mother's rubbing compound. Took about an hour or so but came out really nice. Not sure if the picture does it justice or not though.

looks sweet good job, how hard it it to remove??
Not too bad, hardest part is fighting the other stuff in the way. Its 4 bolts that screw into the intake, then you have to disconnect the fuel line to it and pop the injectors out of the intake.Quote:

Looks good!
hmm, i might try it this weekend with some new maguiars stuff i got..
y2kpewter)))))))) ANY PICS WHEN ITS INSTALLED?
and the cheap mother is great, but i know they have one for like 14.00, has anybody used that ??not sure if its worth the extra 9 bucks
It might be a while before I install it. I have a heads/cam/valvetrain package to install and new injectors. I will probably wait until then to install them but might get bored and do it before, who knows.Quote:

didnt know maybe when ill get that on my next auto shoping spree.
the one that you are talking about has "BILLIT" on the label like in a crazy font, RIGHT??
Correct :)Quote:

not too bad for 10 minutes of half assing :D
i'm swapping intakes this weekend..well, tomorrow, with another LS6 that I had painted silver, so it'll be a double whammy!
Looks goods so far. Couple questions for ya. My monitor sucks, did you polish the throttle cable bracket as well and where do you find that Meguiars polish at, I have never seen that before.

Gotta keep raising the bar for you guys or you would get bored :nana::giveup:Quote:
