OK, I've gotta get rid of the polished aluminum on the ol' EG Standard. I've read many threads on here about the chrome engine kit -- some good, some bad. I've also read that some of the chrome covers look "cheesy". If anybody happens to have some before and after pics, I would love to see 'em. Would also like to read as many reviews about the kit as possible.
My goal is to eventually get the engine to look like this:

I don't know if this what you are looking for but I did add one small piece. It is the Engine/Transmission Interface and Top Cover Kit part #66532-07.

I hate the silver powder coat and bought every piece of chrome that I could to cover it up.
Here's a before and after:
