Any good chrome places in the northwest

Post by tdiggity5 »

Hey guy,
I am looking for a place to ship my grille, headlight bezels, and my gauge panel. I guess the only place in alaska who did it closed down a couple years back. Anyone know of a good place in the northwest? Anyone have an idea how much it would cost to get them plated? Thanks guys

If it's an original bumper, I'd seriously consider trying to find a chrome shop. I know you're in a difficult location but the aftermarket bumpers are thinner and fit differently around the edges. I just think it's worth the hassle to chrome an original once and be done with it.

There is a place called Caribo Chrome in Prince George, BC... http://www.cariboochrome.com/

And I'm sure there are many others in and around Vancouver.

There is also a place called Jacob's Industries in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory but I'm not sure if they do chrome or not.

Cheers,
Dion
