Default Chrome STB

I have a red hotchkis STB and recently put in a metallic red (painted) LS6 intake manifold. Now the two reds look funny next to each other. Wondering where/how much to have my STB chromed?

Thanks for the help

Steve, what is the name of the company--or do you know of any places in northern California that you would recomend? Also, where did you get the chrome bolts to hold it in place?

Thanks for the info

The shop is South Bay Chrome in Santa Ana, CA.. I dont know a place in NorCal but you can ship to South Bay.. they do the chrome for Jesse James of Monster Garage (west coast choppers).. Ask for Brandin

Those are chrome covers from Hillco Fasteners in Garden Grove, CA.. they just snap over the factory bolts..
