Message	none of this "flash chroming" shit that doesnt look as good as polished. w/ the amount of heat the plenum gets its important to have very good chrome work done on it. I've been lucky that the guy who does my chroming is very high quality - in 2.5 yrs & roughly 10k miles i've had no cracks, flaking, or spider webing.
