I thought these were chrome, but as it turns out it looks like polished lips with peeling chrome faces.....I would like to have the faces polished as well but that sounds even more expensive than powdercoating or chrome plating because the existing chrome would have to be removed. Anyone know what the cheapest option is? They are 3 piece Klass forged...

i think they would still charge the same, i think they would sandblast the existing finish off regardless, then polish. call elite and speak to Herman, he'll let you know
