Crackle on header tanks, breathers tanks etc looks rought as fook imo, i prefere them in plain satin or matt.....if not standard clean item.
Cam cover and inlet looks good in crackle and then sneak a few carbon bits in for good measure. Dont do too much carbon though as it will make it look tacky.

IMO chrome has been done the death. A mix of crackle and carbon would be cool.
