Default Air cleaner trim question.

I’m thinking my air cleaner cover would look better all chrome. I looked at the Kahuna trim online, but reviews weren’t great. Has anyone removed the stock trim and left the cover all chrome? How does it look? I know, I know I can remove it and look; but if anyone’s done it and could post a picture you could save me the trouble in case I don’t like it. Thank you very much!

I like the contrast. Even the Kahuna has some contrast on it

I like it too, but the reviews don’t sound good. I’ll have to see one in person.

A few of the poor reviews on Harley's site say that it's really not chrome, more of a brushed aluminum or semi-dull chrome. Haven't seen one myself so, I can't say this is true or not.

Can the spread be utilized straightforwardly on the SE stage 1 channel, without utilizing the stock football. I need to arrange one yet not certain in the event that it will fit Much appreciated.
