Front is painted metal, rear is plastic.

Use Bat's overlay in chrome for the rear. Send the front out for refinishing/chroming if you like.

You need to not respond if you have nothing better to say, just cause there is a keyboard, doesn't always mean type. Jesus, go to a different thread instead of trying to sound cool. I could prob gets thousands of posts if all I did was go around and say everybody's **** stinks but mine.
