    ask any chroming place/service and they will be able to gold up whatever you like.

    I do gold plating myself. I have the electrolysis plating machine, and i use 24K gold cyanide gel. however, the reason I dont plate my car's pieces(except my dad's LOL) is because the finish is very sensitive to washing and polishing, and luster does not last more than few years. and once you gold plate it, replating does not yield nearly as nice results and with initial plating.

FYI, it doesnt look good, on any car for that matter....mainly it looks tacky, two, you have chrome strips everywhere, doesnt match.....ever heard the lame saying thats true, you never where gold with silver.....pretty much applies to everything.

    someone's obviously misdirecting his anger....

    You do realize that the only reason you still have access to this board is because I've been defending your presence right? You are also aware that 90% of this board would rather you just be banned?

    I'd save the snappy comebacks for other folks...I wouldn't bite the hand that feeds you.
