Billium...those look awesome. My valvecovers are currently in the process of having the coil bosses removed (thanks to Hugger SS). When I get them back, I'm having them chromed. I'm assuming you can just ship your covers to bright metals of the heights, they'll chrome them and return ship? That $180 sounds alot better than the $300 I was quoted here in Pittsburgh!

I had to pay for S&H both ways which is only like $9.00 UPS ground each way.

I would use them, I like mine!!!!

I'd be a little hesitant to chrome the vc's after having the coil bosses ground off...sure seems like it would be difficult to get that same finish on the end product. If you can though, I can't wait to see them.

This particular shop grinds and polishes all non-smooth surfaces prior to chroming. If you look closely at his pics, you will not see any casting marks or lines in the chromed surfaces. They spend alot of time smoothing everything out before dipping them.



Quick Reply: If it don't go, chrome it........
