    To chrome or not to chrome... that is the poll...

    Ernie is doing me up a right nice engine cover... I originally had asked him to put a portion of the chrome kit on it... I did not want the entire kit, just the chrome on the side ribs and around the Rams head...

    But now I am having second thoughts.

    Well looks like I may have a day or two to decide, so I thought I would ask every one elses opinoin.

    First, here it is as it is now.....


    Now, the question is... Leave it as is, or add the chrome kit to the side ribs, and/or around the rams head...

    For those that do not know what the peices of the chrome kit I am referring to looks like, here are a few pics of it....





    Thank you all for your opinion....

    Daniel

    Hmm, didnt even think about that... I really wasnt sure about the whole design either, but I was actually leaning away from the red peices, but leaning toward the tribal design, as I have no red anywhere on my car... I dont think I can edit the Poll now, but I will note your opinion... I have changed my mind on this 10 times in the last month!

    I'm for leaving them off. My cover my choice. Ah, isn't America wonderful that way. The common consensus you will get from us, its yours do as you want to see it day and day out.

    I Know, but I do like to see where the majority leans. Truth is, I like both ways, thus why I couldnt decide.

    I'm trying to work out a similar new design for a Heritage Edition cover. After I crudely photochopped the initial idea, I changed my mind on some of the chrome/silver applications and now am working on an improved photochop to illustrate the concept. Now if Ernie can just find me a nice-sized tri-color badge like those on my doors. Good luck Ernie!
