i would like to apply the same chrome finish to my rear strut tower cover that the chrome oem badges have. i inquired about "mirrochrome" paint but was told it would come out more polished than chrome. does anyone know where i can get my cover done with the same chrome finish the badges have?

yeah, i bot his, but install is problematic cuz the tower bends both on lat and long axes. i should know...i'm the first to install his chrome overlay for this part. the top came out good, but the sides had wrinkles. i figure the badge approach would be best. there must be someone out there who can do this no problem. i just have to find them.

I believe member MGL got her emblems electroplated, this might be the process used to add the finish you are looking for. I googled for it and found this page on the process, http://www.astroelectroplating.com/new_page_6.htm
Hope that helps, it'll look nice if done well.
