WOW to all you who posted pics of your engines. Those are some of the nicest I have ever seen. Can't pick a favorite of the ones shown. The combinations are super (IceBerg) yet others are just as impressive. You all can be very proud.

I like a combination of both. To much of anything is not good. It's having a combination of both in the right proportions so that one compliments the other without being over powering. My .02

Is it cuz they want to show they've plenty of "mula"?
But on serious note, a combination of chrome and paint looks best. Yet, some engines really do look way overdone! They looked choked

I read somewhere that chrome builds up engine heat, don't know if it's true or not. Definately like GBVetts pictures but not sure I'd want to spend the time necessary to keep it looking like that.
