Sorry, but I think chrome intake runners would look pretty cheap. The original aluminum looks good, and black powder-coat is even better.



I just thought that while I have the intake manifold gaskets replaced, it would be a good time to have the intake manifolds and valve covers removed, cleaned and chromed. I believe that would look incredibly good!

I've never had anything chromed before so do you know if aluminium can be chromed or if there are any problems with that?
