Default Chrome Dipping in MD?

I would like to have my Magnaflow exhaust tips dipped in chrome...

Anyone know of any shops around the MD area that do Chrome Dipping?

How expensive do you think it would be to have them chrome?

Let Me Know,

Thanks,

Kyle

They shouldnt cost too much, considering there is not that much to cover with chrome..

Magnaflow tips look really good on Formula rear bumpers because they are so long. I just really want them chromed.

Have you considered just polishing them up to get them super shiney? It's tedious work, but it'd be a lot cheaper then chrome plating.

chroming is illegal in the state of maryland. i work on heavy equipment and often have to get cylinder rods re-chromed and have to send them to pa.

I was thinking about getting my CAI chrome plated to save some time on cleaning up under the hood. But that will be a bit of a hassle being in MD. I guess its back to doing it by hand, its tedious but it looks pretty good in the end. Plus its a little easier on the wallet.
