A mix of 3. Some are high reflectivity high temp painted, some polished, some are chroma-coated. Chromacoat is actually much more functional than chrome. It's a ceramic powder coat with extremely high reflective properties. Looks like chrome, not heavy, very durable, and most of all is an awesome heat insulator.

Yeah that's a project I can't see myself doing but I respect guys like JeffTsai who have that true love of cars to dig further under the hood and have those kind of parts installed. Kudos and
