Exclamation NEED Opinions On A Valve Cover!!(Pics)

Im Going to Polish My Valve Cover & There are several different Finihes That can Be Done!
The Stock Finish which is marked Stock & Polished >> Is Polished with a High Speed Buffing Wheel, No Sanding was thinking of doing that on the sides.
The Sanded & polished Finish Which can Clearly be Seen>>>Will be on all the Flat Surface.

OR just Polish the Whole Thing To a Shine!!
OH YEA>>> SS_SC_Cobalt Thanks For The Cover!
Here are the PICS


Before:








Afters:

Make them shine so you can comb your hair and pick food out of your teeth. They look great that way.

This is the Finish Im Going with on Mine!

I Like the way this Looks! Blend of Both Kinds of Finish. This Valve Cover Belongs To SS_SC_Cobalt> He gave to me to test out different Finish's. But Mine is going to look Like this 1! With a Few more Highlights!
