Post Engine Chrome-where to get it?

Whassup with the shortage of engine dressup material for the Acura? I checked our local speed shops and seems they are oriented to ford and chevy pickups. Is this a reflection of the lack of demand for Acura owners?

well i think that certain cars should stick to certain styles. like our car for instance we should try to maintain a high class look to it. i guess its just my opinion but when i think of chrome parts i think of chevy trucks and impalas.

Yea, as long as the chrome looks good and it's tastefully and not over done, then by all means go for it.

Well, now I know that some of you don't approve of chrome in the Acura engine well, and others do.

The thing I would like to know is, who knows of a reliable source for such components?
