I had mine done for part of my "winter project list". Got both fronts done for $45.00. Sorta hate to use the brakes now!

Polishing stainless is the standard and although your brakes will feel squirly at first, a couple trips around the block and your stopping area will be roughed up enough to give you the same power as before. There is no impact on safety as implied on the previous posts.

That does look good, but then I would need to do my lowers too.

Actually I was reading a post in the DYI section on polishing the lower sliders. I am going to give it a try while there is still snow on the ground here.

dougbk - My dealer has the same kind of option for the chrome wheel exchange. If you dont mind me asking what was the cost there.. I am just trying to get an idea if they are a fair price here.
