Default chrome covers

Hi guys, so far I haven't received my chrome underhood parts from PDS yet and
chuck doesn't know when they will be ready.
so now I am thinking about another company but I really only like Design Specialties chrome cover designs. I don't want stainless steel, just chrome,so are there any good companniesbesides MA or Corvette Central? I need a master cylinder (auto), powersteering and belt tensioner/throttle body cover to replace my stainless steel that's on there now. Any Help? Thanks Doug

There was a company called Chrome Co that I used a while back. Don't know if they are still around but their number was 800-783-VETT (8388) specialized in C5's.

I checked out this site and they have nice stuff which I will probably go with But I still think Design Specialties is the best looking and alot more expensive. Is there a long wait after your order or do they keep these in stock? Thanks for the info. Doug

I'm probably wrong but, is Design Specialties still doing business? Wasn't there some talk on here about them no longer in business.

Go broke on here....think I'm becoming the "Poster Child Car" for CEC....I can't be broke, still have checks left in the check book..hehehehe

I was so disappointed when they closed shop. All our chrome came from them.
