Hey guys,
Can anyone tell me how much it costs to get little bits and pieces chrome plated? eg. Shock tower mounts, bonnet hinges, catch plate and other little engine bay bits. I am Just after a rough estimate of what i expect to pay, one place charged $50 minimum for anything. Just wondering if this is a rip off or the average cost? Is it worth it? Thanks to anyone who can help! Tom

I think they dip them in acid to get the little bumps off, but i rekon it would be better to do clean them up yourself first to make sure its perfect.
