Edelbrock air-gap = Permastar or polished.

[Sport/Truck]

I’m looking at getting a Edelbrock intake (air gap) but canr decide on a finish.
Does anyone have the smoke colored (permastar) finish? How do you like it? (got any pictures?) I think it will look great, but I’m worried about how it’s going to hold up. (spilled gas etc)
If I go with polished, does it require allot of maintenance? Seems it will last forever and can always be polished again whereas the permastar can’t if it gets f’ed up then there’s nothing I can do about it.
I don’t really want to have to polish the intake all the time either.
Please let me know, I want to order this before the wife changes her mind! Lol
Also the price is going up next month.
