I will chime in here. It's all opinion anyway. I'm pretty much a no-chrome guy myself. However, high quality chrome is a good protector against rust and easier to clean than paint. Might make the dust and dirt more obvious though. If chrome is a look you like, I would avoid the little bits and pieces and go for the air cleaner and valve covers like on muscle cars. I would emphasize the engine itself, not its accessories or the braking system or anything else. You want your eye drawn to the important component rather than to the perimeter of the engine bay. Design principles at work here, but in the end, it's still just another opinion.
