Nice! Is that for the COE?
Where did you send it for chrome. Looks like they did an excellent job.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

It looks like they softened the corners just a touch, but not enough that it would be an issue. I assume that's a cast piece, not stamped steel. They did a fantastic job. And your wife did too. thumbs_up

You should send them the before and after pics for their gallery. Good to know there's still a plating shop (somewhat) nearby. The one in Anchorage shut down years ago.

Very nice, I got mine done by a guy here in Florida in the space coast area and also did the colors with vinyl. It isn't cheap, the die cast pieces are labor intensive to re chrome.
