Nah...this chrome has been on forever.I am not the original owner.If ya look close enough, you can see the gold color underneath it coming through.That gold color is the factory color that was on it before they were chromed.I'm just gonna take the chrome off with something and try to paint and polish them somehow.Need to figure out HOW to first.LOL!!!!!
