What to chrome? What to polish?
This winter I'm gonna be rebuilding the engine and I figure I might as well indulge myself with a 'bit o' bling'.
Have any of you had any of your underhood items chromed? Polished? I was thinking def the upper intake. You guys got any opinions, ideas, pics?

I R SAD PANDA W/O BAW
I had my UIM, LIM, TB, and BAC polished. Some say the engine bay temps get hotter because the surface area caused by all the dimples/crevices on the manifolds' rough surfaces help to dissipate heat are gone after polishing.
