Default Chrome Fuel Rail Covers

Has anyone seen a source for chrome fuel rail covers? Creative Engine Covers doesn't have them nor do any of the big guys, Ecklers, Mid-America, etc. With a black '03 vert, I think chrome would look best rather than painted ones. Maybe I could by some plain ones and have them chromed? Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.

I found my Desiign Specialties Cover after posting a "WTB" request in the Parts section. I love 'em. Had 'em a month now. Good luck. I hope you have as much luck as I did. BTW, I asked a chrome company about chroming my plastic ones and got a great answer. In short, the person responding told me that because the tempreture variences, the chrome would crack if it was on plastic. Sorry. I thought this was a great answer because it was honest. I'll also keep an eye out for ya.
