Default Chrome oil dipstick

I know I have seen a chromed dipstick for motor oil. It is identical to stock except chromed. Anyone have a link? Thanks.

Was thinking about adding this to my vert. Anyone have one of these installed with pics. For $59, would like to see one in the engine. Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, ChromeCo offers a chrome dipstick for C5's. I don't see it in their catalog, but I believe the gentleman told me it was a new oproduct at Bloomington Gold. Try www.chromeco.com or 1-88-783-8388.

I would advise not to buy from Frank at ChromeCo; nice guy but poor quality chrome. I had to get three sets of chrome hood hinges from him and they all rusted;one even came already rusted. Also his chrome hood insulator fasteners just flaked bad and had to get my money back. Just go to CEC and you won't go wrong.
