Just thought I'd throw that in. Sometimes an upgrade of the OE stuff just makes sense. Other times, not so much. (Chrome fan shrouds and see through distributor caps, anyone?)

I am the victim of a chrome attack from the PO on my engine. Little by little I am getting rid of it. I am still fascinated by the options offered back in the 70's for VW's. A see through distributor cap? Shag carpet and blue jean seat covers? Nice!
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
