It's a good bar, regardless of what others on the forum say about it. (*cough* Moon *cough*

GMPP CAI lid Before / During, & After

Before: Note the amount of Orange Peel... I hate orange peel

During: cut-n-buff, I got it about 75% smooth, but still very mild orange peel, but any further would have burnt thru. And it just didn't Pop for me, imo..

After: NOT exactly caring for the chrome-like look, this was my choice of finish for my lid, something different..

VHT* wrinkle plus.... Not for everyone, which makes it more appealing to me..

I sand blasted everything, then powder coated the base to prevent any possible rust issues from developing.

The Lid I shot with VHT* wrinkle plus paint, since it is aluminum, I was concerned about it warping in the heat, baking powder coat..
