Default Chromed Injector Rails

Who has had theirs done and how much did it cost.

Just got quoted 200.00 for the prep work and the plating. Sound about right...??????

HotRodLane only sells the modified fuel rails chromed for $265 I have my factory rails out right now for chroming - no where near that price.

If you're gonna send them out for polishing - you might as well go the extra step and get them chromed - the polishing step is what 95% of the labor charge is for. That way you don't hev to worry about protecting the surface or polishing from time to time.

For those that have chromed their fuel rails:

Did you remove the cap & guts of the regulator 1st? I would think you have to - but when I removed the internal snap-ring the center portion would still not come out

Am I missing something? Is there a trick?

TIA,
