Appears to be two trains of thought here.  One where the head is cast similar to the originals with casting lines and roughness.  The other where the heads are actually smooth on the exterior finish and potentially can be emblazoned with the manufacturers logo on the ends.  Smooth works okay for myself.  What’s the general concensus here?

I'm a sleeper kind of guy. I'd go for the ones that appear stock over smooth ones.

The smooth look would be my choice, if I paid all that money when the bonnet went up I'd want everbody to know they where there!!!

I'm ok with the stock looking casting, I'm for the sleeper look as well BUT will take whatever I can get as long as it works.If it's slick I guess a little bead blasting can rough it up a bit.

Smooth for me. I would leave it unpainted. But I can see the case for a rough casting.

Charlie.  You’d paint those heads?  As if having a Y wasn’t sleeper ennough?  But that’s what’s being asked here so keep those preferences coming.
