Default ZPI Pipe pictures

We have been putting a satin finish on our charge pipes for the tC. We now have switched to elctro polish. I thought that I would post up some pics to show you all what the look like.

These are next to a Scion Dads non polished pipes to give you an idea

Thanks

What is electro polish? Is that the same thing as polishing or chroming? Does the shine fade away after a while like it does on regular polished pipes?

That's The BOMB. Good choice for mass production.

What it is......the part is placed into a container containing a solution of one or more metal salts. Then it's connected to an electrical circuit, forming the anode or the cathode of the circuit. When an electrical current is passed through the circuit, metal ions in the solution are attracted to the part. The result is an evenly-coated layer of metal around the item. Smooth and sweet
