I have not seen anyone advertising them for quite a while. I thought one was for sale in the Parts for Sale section not long ago but I would imagine it sold quickly. You may want to post a Wanted to Buy thread in the C5 Parts for Sale/ Wanted Section and see what response you get.

You know, I was just thinking about an episode of Counting Cars where Ryan did some painted chrome bumpers on a caddy I believe it was.
I also called RPI back when I was looking and they told me the reason they stopped chroming them was because it didn't hold up due to heat.
I don't know if the chrome paint would either, but might be something to check into.

Melting Slicks
I hope someone starts making them again. I've had one in my C5 from RPI for over 10 years and 90k miles without any discoloration but it does have a few chips in the chrome finish thanks to me dropping a tool on it so wouldn't mind replacing it.
