Default Throttle body boring and electroplating? (DFW)

Looking for a local place to have a throttle body bored out and electroplated in the DFW area. Preferably a place that doesn't have more than a week wait.

just port and polish it yourself, just need a dremel with various cutting tips, sand paper and polishing compound, takes all of a few hours.

you cant bore a TB with a dremel, its not like just tappering a ls1 TB you actually bore it out and change the blade size... so thus it must be perfectly round and have a bigger blade

Sorry fellas...didn't realize that the boring/honing methods between our cars was so different.

I was looking for a local place to do this kind of work on my throttle body:

I could always ship it off to them, but turnaround isn't that great and I was wanting to have it ready by this weekend.
