Zinc or Nickel Plated.... What's closer in terms of color to a chrome finish? Does anyone have a side by side image of all three?

just get it chrome finished. There's still got to be 1 or 2 places that do chrome. Try searching old automotive restoration.

If not...go with Nickel

Thanks Pneumagger... I did find a place that sells the T Fittings in a chrome finish... but the $30 tag on it is a bit pricey. Chrome T Fitting Link (http://www.belmedinc.com/details.aspx?ID=426)

I did find some Nickel or Zinc "T"s here... Summit Racing (http://www.summitracing.com/)

I thought it wouldn't be a bad tradeoff to loose that polished chrome look if it'll cost me 1/3 the price.

So Nickel it is!

I live 2 blocks from summit racing. They got some sweet cars there all the time. I went to buy some fittings there in person. What a ripoff. I laughed out loud and just walked away from the Customer Service desk.
