Yeah, I agree, looks good, but just not that super luster like real chrome. Good stuff though.....here is my old ca18et, I had my exhaust mani and it's heat shield powder coated "chrome". This pic was taken 3-4 years after I got them powder coated....so you can see they still look like they were just coated.

hm. i dunno man. i didnt want something like completely mirrored chrome. kinda like polished aluminum. i want it sorta dull so it might be exactly what Im looking for.

but i'll get working on you cover tonight. hopefully get it done. you'll definately have everything next week.

i think i will try the chrome but if you have black chrome in stock let me know. that one is nice too. i noticed they had metal filler. i dont know if i will need it or not, i'll let you figure it out. it doesnt have to be perfect. the bit got dull on me and gouged the surface of the cover.
