Engine dress-up

hi all, i was wondering, where could i go to get pieces for an 84 n/a to dress my engine up. It has the plate above the engine that says 300zx and all, do they sell those in chrome or something? Im trying to get the engine cleaned up and looking better than it does right now so any suggestions or links would be much appreciated. Thank you.

i'm lucky, i have a bead blaster. but sandpaper should work fine. just work your way through the grits. and then use a metal polish. or i guess you could find a place to get it chromed, but i dont think its worth the cost. personally, i dont care for shiny. painted, powdercoated, or brushed finish are the way to go imo.

That is a very sweet car JohnZboy... Nice work. Almost looks like a Shiro at first glance. Second glance looks better than a Shiro.
