I don't think too much is a bad thing. As long as you keep up on keeping it clean, polish whatever you like.
You might think about your throttlebody (if it's not being done now) or alternator.
BTW, the picture above is RTS3GEN's car (the King of Bling).
PM him about what's he's had polished and chromed.

As I said, it's his car. He can give you the details. The metal parts are polished. If you look hard, some of the plastic components have been chromed.

confucious sayz... all those shiny parts do nothing for large amounts of heat .... ceramic coating is the way to go

will do
now this may be a stupid question, BUT instead of all that sanding, wouldnt it be simpler to give it a good wash and use some cleaner to get oil etc off, then just paint it with silver heat resistant paint? (dont laugh it was just a thought, sure theres many reasons why this isnt a good idea!)
