Default will this look stupid?

im planning now to "chrome out" my engine on my 1965 coupe.i was looking at getting my export brace and shock tower top chrome but i ran into a deal of 105 dollars for both of these chrome and a monte carlo bar chrome also.Since i was already going to spend 90 dollars for the other 2 i thought i might as well get the carlo bar. Do you thinkwill this look like too much im trying to imagine it anyone please post a picif you have this on yours please.

I;m waiting on the same parts. And I think a little chrome makes the engine compartment look nice.

I dont like too much crome. Too much chrome in the engine bay makes it look like it should be in a low rider. Its your stang so you choose!

From my experience at the RMMR, chrome filled engine bays beat out stock original engine bays just about every time with these old cars.

I prefer an original look, but some chrome accents are fine.

personally i hate chrome, the only chrome in my engine bay is the breather cap on my valve cover and the air cleaner. all of which are changing. im gettin welded aluminum valve covers and a black crinkle carb enclosure :P my montecarlo bar is black, but not shiny black. too much chrome is a no go in my book.

I think the chrome would be cool. If you like chrome, do it. I like chrome, some don't, I say do it.
