Default Under the hood chrome

I'm wanting to spice up things a little under the hood. I have painted the hood liner black and painted in the emblem on the liner. Did the cheap Lowes chrome mod on the tabs that hold the liner in. I have some Torch Red paint and am going to paint the water and radator overflow tanks to match the car.

Now I want a little chrome, not extreme like some I've seen. I'm really just wanting to cover both areas of the inner fender. They make custom pieces already cut out but I'm trying to do this on a budget and the pre-made stuff is a little pricey. So has anyone done some type of peel and stick, cut to match chrome? I've found this:

and this:

Anyone know of or used anything else?
