Default Timer Cover on 2008 Deluxe

I'm doing some massive upgrades - 08 Deluxe - at the dealer right now.. they asked if I wanted to replace the timer cover ?
Since much of the engine is chrome and I'm chroming the inner primary -along w/ all chrome hardware.. I guess they figured they ask..

However I thought that the Timer Cover was already chrome ? I gave them the go-ahead.. but since the bike is not here .. I thought I would put it out here for a quick answer...

Is it polished aluminum ?

Why no PM chrome rear caliper ? I have a rear PM chrome caliper on my 2010 Deluxe along with the PM chrome 6 piston front.Is there something different about a 2008?
