OK thanks. That has a lot of useful information. Anyone have any recommendations as to where I should send them to have them rechromed. From what research I have done it seems Advanced Plating in TN has got a lot of good reviews but I know they are going to be high. I also need to have the rear taillight bezels and a few other pieces of pot metal done on my 69 Charger RT. I am starting to read conflicting ideas as to whether you should have the original pieces redone or just buy aftermarket pieces. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.
