Jay --
Mine are polished --- and that took a lot of sanding (various grits getting finer) and then they were polished. They have turned gold and blue in a couple spots (like where 4 and 6 are going from the individual tube to the larger tube)... and I've re-polished them... and they're gold and blue within the next 25 miles...
So my advice is to just bolt them up... anything more is a complete waste of time if you plan to so much as start the motor ONCE!
They're going to look EXACTLY like what they do now -- unless you ceramic coat them. I talked to my coater and he told me he could "cut" the amount of bluing etc by coating ONLY the insides... so maybe I'll have him do it this winter.
