Hello everyone, I am really enjoying this forum as a whole. My car is currently in a working storage garage just a few blocks from where I live. Yesturday I put a new set of Bridgestone Poteza scuderias on Mcqueen (nickname my girlfreind gave the car), and Saturday I will be removing the supercharger to have a smaller 2.80 pulley installed. While the pulley is being removed professionally I would like to have the supercharger chromed or polished if Its possible. I do not know if it is possible to chrome or polish but I am sure not the first to think it would look great under that glass. If any one has done this and has pictures I would really appreciate seeing them. Thanks in adance for your information and time. Josh Morken:thumbsup

Welcome Josh! :cheers

The supercharger has been chromed, polished, painted, coated. You name it.
It's also been modded and replaced by other superchargers and TTs -- the changes range from mild to wild.

Scroll around the forum here and check out the many photos. Our members are justly proud of their cars just like you and are VERY creative!

As just shared; all processes used and in the end it is what makes you smile.

Takes care and enjoy your gal and your time on the Forum

All the best

BTW if the Forum means something to you then I encourage you to consider becoming a contributing member; it takes oil to keep the machine alive.

I know I did a lot to mine that I never even thought of when I bought her due to the bad influence of the Forum. :frown.......:wink :cheers

Hi,
Mine looks good with the factory finish,but the boys that can get the look to pop is the support rails in billet aluminum. Here take a peak.
If you do something I,d go polish, mainly because it doesnt look so gaudy.
IMO....good luck

Wow my no stripe delete car was made 5/25/05. Our cars are close. Mine is one of 3 with the options it has. What is yours? Mine didn't come with those support bars though:cheers:wink
