This mod is truly a PITA. I'm just glad it is almost over!

I'm up to 1000 grit as of today. I threw some polish on to see the results to date.

Default This is a cool looking mod, but how cool is it? Wouldn't polishing...>>>
off the bumps greatly reduce the surface area so heat-sink would come more quickly and the intake would run hotter?

think you could do it with a sander/dremel/roto zip faster for the large areas?
