So I Went to the plating shop with the following:
2 outside door handles, 2 inside door handles, 2 window cranks, 2 parking lamp bezels. The guy quoted me $500 (about $400 US). I had checked the prices for repros in the catalog before I left. I told him I could get the repros for a small fraction of his quote. He said that the repros were junk.
Are the repros really that bad?
