Default Next small project HMMMM!

Let me know what you guys think would look better. You know all those ugly a$$ green bolts in the engine bay? Ya you know the ones they gotta go. So I called around Denver to see how much it would cost to get them chromed. On average it's about $100.00 I think it would look sweet too. Then I said what about powder coating them a silverstone color like my car? That would be sweet too and I good do the bolts and my engine shock tower brace for around $100.00. I'm leaning towards the powder coating but they said it might be difficult to hang screws they had never done it we'll see. Anyways, here's a pic of my bay right now. Let me know what you guys think looks better powder coat or chromed anything but army green.

Are you talking about the polished stainless kits? If so I've seen them. I actually replaced a couple of the bolts with some polished stainless and it looks better but put next to a chromed bolt it is nothing. Let me know if they have kits for the chromed bolts. All i've seen are the polished. I appreciate the info though thanks

The engine cover is custom painted. The intake tube, battery and fluid covers are carbon fiber.
