Default Chrome Plating advice needed

Well, I've run out of go-fast mods (that I can afford) so now its time to clean up the various brackets and hood hinges.

Can anyone hook me up with a reputable place I can use to have some under the hood items chromed. Please, only respond if you've used these people your recommending.

Also, whats up with socalimages.com, is this site even up anymore.

Thanks in advance

They do awesome work. They did my strut tower brace, a couple of engine brackets, and a wheel. It's not cheap by any standard, but awesome nonetheless. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'm in Dallas, I have no problem in shipping my items off to be chromed though.
