If you want to get crazy, you can also use some mothers polish and buff them to a brilliant shine but there's no real need for that IMO.
Don't make me start a how to video series in this stuff.
Thanks YoDog,
This is my 2nd build and any information is great. I sanded, ca glue, and painted the edges followed by more glue and sanding. Looks amazing but time consuming task I think is worth the wait. I received 2 of the same side bearing caps so AE is sending me the opposite side, great customer service. Im starting the build this weekend and was wondering about the green slime for the shock o-ring. Put just a little around the whole ring or dont be shy with it? Thanks
