Chrome is cool! I love the stuff! If you really want to wake up an engine just add a couple of chrome parts. Just like anything else it helps if you have a plan of attack. Keep in mind it has to be clean to look good. If you can't reach all of it to clean it, it will look worse than if it isn't chromed.

Try mixing some frsh painted parts with a touch of chrome to accent your details. It will bring a big smile to your face....

chrome don't bring ya home. I like functional chrome but not the engine stuff. I have removed all that poopie from my car. Aluminium, magnesium, anodized & billet (NOT polished)...that's what I like.
