How does the polishing on the polished Whipple AX140 (2.3L) hold up? Are they clearcoated or will they slowly oxidize from engine compartment cleaning. Do these look "too Bling" and should stick with black? Pretty certain I'm going whipple this winter and would rather keep the s/c from standing out, thought is that the polished one would blend in better than black. Any pics? Thank you.

The polished Whipples are not clear coated. The shine on mine held up great. The occasional polish w/ Mothers aluminum polish and it looks good as the day I bought it. It will not oxidize unless you don't ever clean it. The polished version is meant to look good under the hood, so if you don't plan on having a show car look to your engine compartment, don't get the polished. It will definately stand out.

Here's mine. Have a good one.

Thank you much for the reply, was of great help! Though the polished SC looks awesome in your engine compartment, will probably go the standard black under my hood. Thanks again.
