UMMM so this is what its like to put a foot in your mouth ... Damn that looks pretty good.

Still not a fan of chrome in the engine bay but that is clean. If you go to much though thats too ... low rider for me. thats why i saaid ewww originally cause every time i see chrome in engine bay makes me think of L.R.

do you happen to know how many layers of chrome is on the valve cover? Would the chrome crack over time due to heat?

From what I hear, it's a bad idea to chrome the valve cover, cuz it traps heat inside.

chrome retains heat. and raises the temp on your engine...

looks nice but in that pic it looks black. i like colored ones.

if your worried about it trapping heat, why dont you just polish your valve cover. It will look almost the same.

Just figured I'd help out with another pic. This is of my 4th gen though.



I don't notice any increase in temp. Had it triple chromed over a year ago at a Harley shop. I had my cover done along with a SOHC valve cover for $300. Hopefully that's gives you a price range.
