Your friend is NUTS...re-chroming the three pieces would cost a small fortune. and after re-chroming the sharpness and crispness of the details will be lost forever.

The reproduction ones sold by BE&A are 100% beautiful in every respect. They fit original consoles and they fit the new reproduction consoles as well perfectly

I can't say enough good things about these BE&A items.

On a side note....The 70 Charger I'm working on....The owner wants me to hack out the PRND21 area of his brand new top plate for an aftermarket shifter ....you modified guys are nuts
