Default To Polish or Not to Polish that is the question...

Well what do you guys think?

Should I polish my frame? Do you think it would look good, bad with the black w/ red flames. How about my rims, i'm thinking about polishing the outer-lip.


Thanks

remember.. if you polish.. you will CONSTANTLY have to keep going over it everytime you want to go out and it look good... water will really f*** it up... i polished my frame out and decided shortly after to have chrome done. But personally i think that it would look good against black.. polished or chromed

and if u polish it it weakens the welds on the frame which is not good so just another thing to think about

Do not polish your frame. I couldnt imagine seeing that on the new R6. The black frame looks great + it matches.

Just my opinion
