Question Polished Throttle Body

I want to get a polished throttle body for the "bling" factor only. I realize there are no hp gains on a basically stock engine. I tried a Billet Flow last year but had idling issues so sent it back and exchanged for an efan. I would just as soon have the stock dual blade rather than pay 450. for a single blade. I don't have the patience/tools to polish my own t/b. Any recomendation? What about the BA BOLT t/b's I saw some earlier post on? I can't find any current info on him. Is he still around?

I still feel my Accu Fab was one of the best Mods I ever did
It may not add power on a stock L
BUT "it is" needed as time goes on
AND it surely made A WORLD OF DIFF IMMEDIATELY on my L

Instant throttle response
Major Diff on low pedal feel
and my stock POS Ford TB had dead spots ALL OVER
GONE instantly.............


and AWESOME bling factor



Some hate them, I frigging love mine, been flawless for @ 3yrs now

Looks nice, Silver Bolt!! Did you do the work yourself?? If not, where did you get that t/b? That's about what I'm interested in, just a little "bling" as my truck is mostly for show.

Do you have the means to just polish your own ?? easy and much cheaper.

that will work, you can hit it with sand paper to start .....I have a compressor driven datco 90 degree with attachments that makes quick work of polishing aluminum or steel.
