chrome engine parts question

[hooks]

Finally got my engine bay all clean & detailed--really looks good--am looking to add some chrome pieces here & there--some parts are advertised in the parts mag. as bolt on pieces, but some say "double back tape" or "velcro" --my question is--are these pieces only for "show" or will they stay attached on a daily driver? Anyone used them on a daily driver & result? Most pieces are chrome covers for things like ASR--MASTER CYL--SURGE TANK--etc...

I thought about getting some of those cover pieces as well until I went to a couple shows and saw some cars with them. I'm not saying anything critical, they just aren't to my taste. I elected to go the polish, paint and modestly accesorize route.

hooks,

Just a thought, give powder coating a look. I just had my exhaust done on my truck in a chrome like finish. The diesel temps are quite high.

MarkC,

Very nice engine !!!!
HHow & what did you ploish it with ?
I've recently bought some Caswell Plating shinning stuff to try on my wheels. I was so upset when I took off my wheels the other day, YUK! The brake dust was doing a number on the inside.;help
But I cleaned them up to start. See attached photos. I made my own aluminum brightener.

Same here. I think polishing actual parts looks better than covers.

Should not matter driver or show. The parts aren't going to fly off or anything.

86PACER,

Absolutely,

You know you are going to keep it clean, so why not make it pop!!!

Thanks,
