chrome's a good idea. i'd look into what that would cost. i don't think i've seen anyone else with one, and with only $40 into it, you'd have the best looking one with little into it.

chrome is nice but a Smoked-chrome powercoat would look much better or to stand out more silver---to---dark gunmetal. There is even a power coat that is silver but so metalic that it is called like-chrome.

I don't know whos STB you got but the like-chrome is a BMR option on all parts!

RED is way over used

Go with a theme, and stick to it. Less color is better, but you want certain things to stand out, so decide accordingly.
