Chrome Plating Your Grille

[AGENT 0007]

Has anyone here had there stock grille chrome plated? If so I would be interested in pics and how much it cost...

[FLASH]

Yea, this is going to sound so incredibly stupid, but I saw someones Stock Grille that LOOKED chromed from about 10 feet away, and it was so incredible looking...until I went right up to it and just saw that it was extremely dirty Had it been chrome, however, it would have looked so hott....obviously cant help on any prices, just it if this is any indication, it would look sweet.

I looked into it a while back, and it's pretty difficult to get the grill chromed. Apparently, a process called vacuum metalizing has to be used, which wouldn't be that big of a deal except that it cost around $300+, and it's very very difficult to find someone that can actually do it. The vacuum metalizing is necessary because the grill is plastic, so it can't be chromed by just dipping it. So after that disappointment, I just decided to put mesh on the grill. The mesh looks cool though imo.
