Well, you would probably have to DIY because they don't sell engine covers (different than a valve cover) in chrome or carbon fiber. A engine dress up kit had a bunch of colored hoses and wire loom and stuff. It's more rice than nice.

I have a guy that might be able to chrome the valve cover if I am not able to find one. It is hard to find certain things for the 03-07 Accords. Thank you for your help!

Like real chrome? The V6 engine cover is plastic and can't be chromed with actual metal chrome. The valve covers under the engine cover can be of course!

This guy I know has a new procedure that will chrome plastics. He just finished training for it. It is something similiar to powdercoating but with plastics. He told me he should be able to chrome it. It does has a temperature limit to it so he is checking on it. That gold looks pretty good on that engine especially with the gold calipers.
