thats what im after... thanks to everyone else too though... yes i can rub it back, buff it and then polish it till my hands become like arnold schwartzeneger but i dont want to do that... also with the spray stuff it doesnt come out mirror like i want it to... one of them is already sprayed chrome/silver but i want the mirror cause im doing everything else mirror (bumpers redone, gt vents, rear quarter vents, headlight surrounds (already done), GT grille, the plastic where the window squirts go, rear taillight surrounds and even possibly the centre rear piece)
i got quoted
- $1100 from the bronzing studio to do all the plastics ( rear vents, water squirters section and complete rear)
- $400 for both bars
- not sure on vents yet 
so all up its almost $2k for full chroming

will lokk up the name of a good place for you. the GT vents will not be cheap as they should be done in brass first then sanded down to remove any pittting. then chromed.
let me know how you go anyway
