Question Chrome Engine Parts

Has anyone done any custom work under the hood? I would like to add some chrome covers ect. I have done searches but have not found anything for under the hood. I would like to find a chrome engine shrad/cover. Any ideas for my 1998?

I've never seen any "chrome kits". If ya have the engine cover on you can't see the valve covers anyway and that would be the main "chrome" accessory. I think the only way is to paint everything. Vincent123 has gone with silver under the hood. His car is "one of a kind" so just as a reference check out post #291 in this; https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...-build-20.html

Thanks deanshark. Vincent123 looks great. Gives me some ideas. The parts he has silver are the exact covers I would want chromed. I have been looking for someone that maybe could chrome plate the plastic. I live in Savannah and I have not found anyone around here. May try Atlanta. Appreciate the reply.

Plenty of aluminum parts that can be polished as well. Obviously modifying the covers to show them off would be part of it.
