whalen.. to polish or to brush?

that is the question!

What more can I say! I am waiting for Doug to tell me that he can do my logo and then I am going to order. The only thing is should I get it polished or not?

Anyone have any opinions on this? and I prefer not to hear from the chrome haters, I just want to know if there is a reason why you would get one over the other as long as it is not because you hate chrome...

I may be asking a loaded question (ok I AM asking a loaded question) but I gotta see what people say

Chris

I Like Chrome

Because I like chrome and have the chrome int/ext package + additional bling I went for the polished. Sweet! Nick

CustomAV,
What I like best about Whalen is the custom engravings- they can look good on both polished or brushed finishes.

If you wear a ring on your right hand it could scratch the polished finish of the **** more than the brushed finish. My MOMO shift **** has some chrome on it and some parts are scratched and I rarely have a ring on my right hand.

If you have some chrome on your dash I think the polished finish **** will look fine. If you want to accent the **** more and make it stand out then the brushed finish will work.
