Under The Hood Chrome
I saw a vette at a local car show this weekend that had beautiful chrome accessories under his hood, but what i really liked the fuse box-oil cap-washer fluid etc all in chrome had all the wording on them. Do you know were to get these items at???

Design Specialities used to sell what your describing with the engraving on their pieces.
They were based in Bowling Green but have recently gone out of business.
Here's a link to a site with some excellent chrome acc's.

If you want polished S/S, check out www.americancarcraft.com. They have some really nice stuff as well!! I installed their rear exhaust filler panel and it looks great (I still need to take some pictures).

Be very careful of junk. There are many out there that sell poor quality chrome plating on thin metal. Design Specialities made the best, but are gone for many reasons. They did the etching of the lettering on the caps. Most of the caps cost $ 85.00 each with the etching you are referring to.
Try a vendor, by buying the least expensive item, see what it looks like when it arrives and then decide to keep and order more, or return and try with another vendor.
It ain't easy getting quality stuff.
There is also a rumor that
www.performancedesignspecialties.com
is trying to take over for Design Specialitites. Their website is under construction
Good luck
