$125.00 per side cover? Don't you think that's a tad bit high. I paid $60.00 for both at a local shop and didn't have to pay shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im not trying to retire off one set of covers, or piss anybody off but you can look online and find just about anything you want thats made in china and pay five cents on the dollar and keep wondering why all these american businesses are closing. i base my prices off the largest chrome plater in the united states called south bay chrome(classic components). get on classiccomponents.com and check it out for yourself. and dont forget the shipping!!

We know what it's like to run a business, and I totally understand, I build and sell computers, and I'll almost bet you have a Dell Buying on line is a way of life now days and we wonder why there is no tax money to pay our fire fighters, police and fix our roads

I would pay 10 and even 20% more for a product that I can buy right here in my town vs going on line and buying it, or getting a cheep overseas knock off, or worse yet, buying from an American company that ships out all of it's work to some third world country.

The only ones with solid jobs and making money from it are DHL, UPS and FedX.

Re:chrome wheels, chrome plating and polishing 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
Well Sir
I'm the one that brought up price so I'll answer to your price claim. I don't care what the biggest company out there is charging, what I care about is getting a fair deal. When I can get a local chrome shop to do it for half of what your charging that is keeping it within AMERICA! I'm not in some foreign country I'm in the Good Ole USA!!! And if I can get a local business do it for that price and not pay shipping then that's the best deal. I'm just letting the other Forum Members know that there are better deals out there!

Re:chrome wheels, chrome plating and polishing 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
well sir, sorry i offended you, but if you had 2 (plastic) side covers chrome plated for $60.00 i want the name of the company!! because i pay more than 3 times that and im a dealer. and make sure that your talking about actual trivalent chrome plating plastic. not steel covers, or spray on chrome bs there is a big difference.

Clifford here on the RSC can get you those covers for under $100 a set. Ordering from him is supporting American business.
