Got Chrome??

Post pic's of anything you have under the hood thats chrome.

I just finished chrome plating this stuff for a TGO board member. I wont name who incase he is waiting to post pic;s of the car when its done.

but Whats the best way to get good pic's of chrome?

I have a Good 5mp digi cam(sony DSC-V1) so thats not the problem. I can't get s decent shot of these parts.

Sounds cool. I would think it would not last long there, but I'm not a chrome plater. I'd like to see it in a year or so, but if you garuntee it, then I guess its not to big of a deal.
