IMO the chrome ones look like crap. Go with painted. That is the way the MoCo should have made them in the first place. Just another excuse to try to make more money.

They might trace the flame that's on the front fender and transfer it to the sidecovers for consistancy in artwork.

And yes, spend the money and do it right.
