Can you polish the std mags? Any idea how it'll look?

they're made from an aluminium alloy so yes they can be polished.

BUT, i wouldnt recommend doing it yourself unless you're not scared of hard work!!! old mags are usually quite badly pitted from years of "weathering", and the pro's dont charge a fortune for this task!!!

i've seen polished original mags on a car from overseas somewhere, and it looked good, but only if you like the bling, because properly polished aluminium is highly reflective - almost like chrome!
