Default ACI Fender Grilles

Anyone here have their ACI Fender Grilles chrome plated? I knows it's a long shot, but I think I might like the look.......maybe! Best,

I am not sure that they can be chromed since they are not metal. Try contacting Kewl I know that they have a Plenum that has been chrome so they maybe able to do that for you if you decide. Just a thought

Yes, I have had my ACI fender grilles chrome plated, but I never installed them. Also, Advanced Plating did the chrome plating for me, and it was not cheap.

My '02 Coupe is pewter, and I painted the side coves black. After that, the chrome fender grilles were just too much "bling" for my taste, so I put them on the shelf and was reminded of the cost of "trial and error".

Sorry I don't have a picture to post, but I think they would look good on the right color car.

Good luck!

How do you think they'd look on AE Red? and would you em or pm me the finished cost of the goods? And about that pic.........I'd consider making a fair offer if you're in the mood to sell. Best,
