Polished vs Chrome

I am going to get a new master cylinder and brake booster. I think I am going to go with the CPP MCPV-1 1-18" bore and either a polished stainless steel booster or a chrome booster. I am just looking for opinions. I am leaning towards the polished mc and polished stainless booster.

Re: Polished vs Chrome

I've never seen stainless boosters but that would be good for brake fluid resistance. Chrome would look better until it got fluid spilled on it.

Re: Polished vs Chrome

That is exactly why I was thinking of going with the polished stuff.

Re: Polished vs Chrome

I like the polished stainless boosters and mc's we sell at work (The Right Stuff Detailing). Both look good IMHO, but I prefer the polished stainless.

Re: Polished vs Chrome

Polished S/S would be nice. I'm not over the hill into bling so it would depend on the truck for me to give an opinion.

esll.

Hart_Rob,

How is NM? Saw the pix of the Burb and it is looking good. I will have to definitely see it before you take it to NM.
