Where can I buy pre-chromed aftermarket fuel rails? I'm going to step up my fuel rails just for a little better look but would like to have the new rails in a chromed finish. Does anyone know where I can buy them pre-chromed and ready to go? How much did they cost you?
Thanks
Thanks

Don't know of any pre-chromed - most are anodized in colors. The rail setup w/install kit (on sale right now) from Nasty Performance is definitely a nice piece of work. They are polished aluminum - easy to get chromed - and the expensive portion of the chroming process has already been done!
These are the rails I'm getting - sale goes to end of this month...

Yeah, I found that last night while browsing. Typical, as soon as I actually ask, I find it LOL. But the last set of chromed rails I got (factory rails) the extra chrome made installation of the fittings a real PITA. I was hoping someone had a setup where they chromed them, and re-tapped the holes. But I think I'll probably jump on Nasty's GP too. Thanks for your help

Whomever chromed your last set was not a very good plater 
all tapped holes by default, and any thru holes that you designate, should be plugged so as to NOT chrome.
I have over $3K worth of chrome in my T/A and not one of the tapped holes were ever chromed.

blown, looks nice but how is the fuel entering the rail? at the back, with a plug on the other side, or....... are you running a regulator after the rail and dumping back to the tank......?
oh and they are 3/8 npt threads

It is entering in the back and I am running a regluator after the rail back to the tank. 3/8" NPT threads
