But then that Chrome spacer is going to sticl out like a sore thumb, I will paint it up before I sand it down just rough like and see what it looks like...... if its ****ty I can just strip and sand.

I am not sure, I have never tried to sand Chrome yet, so we will see I think it need to be done, I will polish the square ring around the TB paint the rest black, paint the spacer full black then I think it would look nice, I got a low gloss blac engine bay, and black exterior (After Paint right now its stripped), Black block, Black Trick Flow V Covers..... So it should all flow nice with the polished aluminium

Sounds awesome. You can try sanding it and all that on the bottom where you wouldnt be able to see it and see how that comes out. If you dont like it then hell no one can see it.
