Some places can powder coat chrome, but it usually looks more like a polished aluminum color

This isn't a FAST intake but you can see what can be done with a simple LS6 intake and some Duplicolor paints.

Ask and you shall recieve. Granted, it's an ls6, but you get the idea.

And here it's on the car...

I've since switched to a FAST, and went with a black theme.
