Sherm's Plating in Sac quoted me $2300. for the grill alone I had a plating shop in Bakersfield chrome my original grill, I had to send it back 3 times because it was full of buffing scratches. The third time they buffed clear through it (ruined). and $400 dollars down the tubes. Its hard to find a good plating shop at a decent price in Kaleeforneea.

Thanks,

They are die cast pieces and then chrome plated from GM. What I have is original GM stripped and then re-plated. Go look at the back side at all the rust, you'll know they are not stainless...

Here I was, all proud of myself for hand polishing my whole grill last weekend, and now you went and made it look bad again. Shame on you.

I got mine done for $600.00 But that was 5 years ago. I think it will cost a lot more then that now.
