Actually the only things that are chromed in the engine compartment are the valve covers and the a/c compressor. I'm not a fan of chrome but I thought the black valve covers would look funny with the large blue ram air intake and blue engine. I'm also painting the engine compartment black and I wanted a little contrast.

 

your engine bay does look good, but I think the black ones would work better for mine since everything is mostly black and I think it would cause me to go on a shiney streak.

 

Very NICE looking engine compartment!!!

 

Thanks! It'll look better with the new valve covers and headers (not that you can see that). I also still have to do some paint touch ups and corrections, but then again there's always something...
