Engine Dress Up

I see a lot of SS S/C's with polished superchargers and fancy engine dress-up, how do you chrome out the superchager? And where do you get it done?

You do it yourself or send it to a machine shop.

Contact euthanasia if you want your supercharger polished.

For the other engine dressup, go to MRZ's site.

I think MRZ is way to expensive, thats th only reason my engine bay isnt looking good yet. $40 just for one cap isnt worth it.

I agree, but that is supply and demand for you.

Another way to make the engine bay look nice is to powder coat your valvecover.

I painted my own valve cover and pulled my supercharger off, sanded starting with 320, 600, 1000, and 1500 grit sandpaper, then shined it up with mothers mag and aluminum polish.

I heard if you put a pair of earbud headphones inside the s/c and play rap music the s/c will actually turn chrome all by itself.
