as the title says Whats an immaculate chromed rocker cover worth??

$80 Max

Yeah that sounds like a fair call to me. You can get yourself one second hand for 30 dollars and polish it yourself for 20 max in materials. Some places would even polish it for you by machine for 40-50 bucks. So that figure works fine for me.

i dunno i recon 100 possibly a little more cos it costs more than 100 to get it chromed and if it is polished you really have to keep it clean etc and the chrome will be fine for ages.

yeh polished and chrome are chalk and cheese! believe me i have one of each.. chrome kills polished by a miilion to one!

u reckon, i hate chrome, looks cheap and plastic, and its prone to corrosion. Polished alloy is a better look Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

each to their own i guess. like a lot of things, like everything actually.

can someone compare pics of CHROMED to POLISHED ?? and why does chrome kill polish a million to one?? less effort to clean or what?

for one thing fingerprints are a c*nt on polished

My mate got all his cooler pipes chromed for $100 so a rocker cover would cost **** al

you could allways shadow chrome them p.s polished sucks the shine goes to qik always cleaning Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

80 bux max. and ye chromed is better for the reasons every1 else has said.

or you can spend $40 and take a whole heap of bits to an electroplater and get lots of shiny things. actually really like the shadow look on the rocker cover, doesn't look like bling, looks nice, clean and tough.

any pics comparing CHROME to POLISHED?? and whats electroplating look like???

how the hell does that rocker cover look "tough" ? Some weird blokes out there...

Chromed alloy is the goods. A Polished finish is too high maintenance. And unlike on steel, the porosity doesn't really matter, because alloy doesn't rust. Love that shadow chrome finish, but it looks more like powerdercoating in that photo

This is one that i polished for Erin for Xmas, took me forever. but looks sweet. I have recently done one for my car which also was a pin in the bottom but looks good. I like th epolished look caus it matches the shine on the cooler pipes. personally i think chrome is a bit bright but thats my opinion Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ill take a pic today after i have CLEANED/POLISHED the polished one four about half an hour! and just take out the chrome cover and wipe the dust off it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

your kidding yourself, mine cost me $250 to get chrome dipped....
