Can we say road glare? And those tailpipes look like soda straws! But it`s different.

Glade you mentioned that, because its actually illegal in a few states if I remember right. But think about it during the night and some ******* is following you up high beams on and tailgating the **** out of you. Won`t be happening much with that reflection:tongue2:

I know this guy with a polished aluminum Cobra. Real sweet! I think it`s 200 hours or so. Kirkham does it at the factory.

Well that is not neccesarily true. Delorean sells a pad that you rub over the surface that can bring back the brush marks.

And Yes you have to give props for the polish job on the Cobra but that is aluminum. The Delorean is Stainless Steel WAY harder to polish and it is brushed stainless at that. Basically aluminum is a much softer metal so getting that finish is an entirely different process.

Super clean, low mile cars sell for around 20-25K+-. Polishing the body would most likely remove 10K of the value to a "true" collector. It looks "cool" if you like that stuff.
