Well here is how the story goes, I ordered a polished 2.9 and when it arrived it didnt meet my standards so i sent it back. Whipple tried polishing a new one and did about 5 inlets and came to the realization that it wasnt gonna be what i want so they said they would powder coat it and i told him if they get something close to sonic blue or if they could do it in wrinkle blue or some sort of silver. they powdercoated a cut blower half in something as close to sonic blue as they could get. if i got it done i would get the inlet,front and main case done and leave all other parts polished. what do you guys think? the pictures came out more blue than in person probably because of not knowing how to turn flash off. in person it has some purple in it.
