Engine Dressing question
Hello All,
I've figured out what performance packing i'm going with after research and more research. I would like to compliment my performance package with a little dressing, but cant decide on what route to go. Some pics would help me make a quicker decision. Also, a website of a place that can do this would be of major help as well. Exterior: 03' Swirl Gray.
I've thought about chrome, but doesn't that add extra weight? I do appreciate your help with the performance selection and I appreciate your help with this request as well.
Thx guys!

Here's what I did with my Spiral Vert. Combo of painted, carbon fiber, and polished stainless. The pictures aren't the best. It looks myuch better in good light.

Be very careful of stainless steel. It scratches very easily!

Some painted components would look good - check out the offerings of Kewl Auto (
www.kewlauto.com ). I have some of their stuff and they are very nice.
