I was looking in Hot VW magazine the other day and saw that you could replace all the engine tin in a beetle for about $50 with Chrome engine tin.

Does anyone know of a supplier for 914 Engine Tin? One side of mine has some acid pitts in it (guess which side!!) and the other was creatively cut a little by the PO so having mine chromed is not an option.

Any pics of chrome engine tin out there? I think it'd look good, but might just be gaudy as hell in person.
