I bought mine from Afterthoughtsauto.com. Unfortunetly they dont sell them anymore because they would easily chip and yellow.
Luckily mine havnt chiped, and they still look pretty good

I was going to offer these a while back and i have a 1 off set that was made for my car, the company i was dealing with suck basically so i stopped dealing with them. I will post pics of mine when i get home. It is real triple plate chrome on top of the honey comb plastic. I looking into a new process that is cheaper and not triple plate chrome but "copy chrome". Its not a spray paint nor is it vaccum metalized like the ones from afterthoughtsauto. Have to wait to see how real metal parts turn out first with this chrome substitute than we'll move onto test plating the plastic parts.

what about polished/brushed aluminum? Might be a good half way. I'm looking for the option on my ss hood , so i thought i'd pop in and see what you guys find that works.

to make these items is very difficult, its not as simple as milling it out. You have to consult with a machine shop and the general computer map of the peice costs a few thousand to match the OEM part exactly. We'll see how things work out with me trying it on my own this time rather than depending on a company.
