where to get a tmic polished professionally?

im thinking of getting a jdm sti tmic polished on the endtanks and all that instead of going with a bigger non "oem" unit like a helix or perrin. does anyone know where i could get the tanks polished? or how much something like that would cost...id also want to get my wagons cusco rear strut tower bar refinished so im looking around for a reputable shop. any advice helps. tia.

You can do the bar yourself. Just "stroke" it with Mother Metal polish and a rag. Will take like 2 min. For OEM TMIC, I am not sure how it will look with polished end tanks and regular core, but you can also try yourself using rotary tool with same mothers metal polish.
