Chrome plating intake?
Is it possible to chrome plate the intake? I only ask because a young friend of mine said he was going to have his done.
It would look nice if possible.
Would there be a heat problem?
thanks. <img src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" border="0" alt="[devil]" />

Re: Chrome plating intake?
I tend to agree that the engine heat could be a problem. However, many 1st. thru 3rd. generation Camaros had chromed plastic parts from the factory. Most are interior parts.
I have used American Plastic Chrome to plate parts for my early Z28 cars. It might be worth a phone call to get their opinion on the intakes.

Re: Chrome plating intake?
Jeff, thanks, I'll have to e-mail them for details. Wouldn't the chrome cause it to retain heat though? That'll be one of the questions I'll ask them. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">
