Chrome is the only way to go. The PSS scratches very easily like many others have stated. Just stay away from the mail order houses chrome as you only will be dissatisfied in the long run. You get what you pay for! Like they say in the show world "If you ain't got chrome - go home!"

The cover wouldn't align correctly. All of you guys with engine compartment bling please share your experience, it will be appreciated.
I give up - what or who is CEC?
Anyone have a website address?

I used to be a GB Wannabe, then I read his book, bugged him to death, studied his pictures, spent about a year and $5k under the hood, and guess what?

I'm still a GB Wannabe!
