    how much is the going price for polishing plenums

    these days. I can do it but if someone else can do it for less than $300 exchange then it's not worth my while.

    $395 from Simon.

    The outside one's

    Are HKS alloy hardpipes with blow off valves which i just polished up, the inside ones are mandrell bent pipe, which i made up and had chromed.
    $395 for an exchanged polished plennum is good value imo, i polished mine and i can tell you i will never do another one, to much work and takes forever.

    I've had one quote at "around" $200

    That seems an appealing price to me.

    no way in hell would I do a complete plenum

    polish for $200. A plenum takes about 40 hours to do properly i.e. including the polishing of the valley on the plenum.

    Can you see examples of what $200 gets you?

    As chewy said, 40+ hours is required to do a good job. No point in paying a bit less and being dissapointed with the end result (Ask Mr TT- he got a partially polished plenum from CB)

    I heard a runour that "BLING" is a word made up by the African Americans

    as a private joke to make white people sound like wankers when they say it.

    You're at least half right :LOL:

    According to UrbanDictionary.com the origin is:-

    bling

    Jamaican slang that has been adopted by some African American rappers and inserted into popular culture. The term "Bling Bling" refers to the imaginary "sound" that is produced from light reflected by a diamond. See The Silvertones "Bling Bling Christmas" for the earliest known usage of the slang.

    This "bling bling" shit has been done to death.
