I thought valve covers where over the part where the oil cap is. I guess I didn't really describe very well what I wanted 
. I was talking about the big chromed out thing by the strut bar. Is that easy to get done?

I think your talking about the engine cover. The cosmetic piece of plastic you have to remove when changing the front spark plugs, right?
Or, as in Kevlo's sig: the part that says "V6 3000" ?

. Now I need to know where to find chrome paint or how to find a chrome shop. My intake manifold is a dark plastic material, polishing prolly won't do the trick.

Metal Maxima, the idea of this is purely asthetic. Polishing the exhaust manifold is stupid. This is an intake manifold. Polishing the runnners on that is a proven way to make power in other cars but not nearly as much in these. You could get the manifold extrude honed for $600. Now where the real power comes in is porting and polishing the head. That typically reduces torque but increases HP. And its rather difficult and expensive.
