Radiator Shroud/plastic support....
I've looked high and low.......i cant find anyone thas one of these that is chromed up. I was thinking of taking some "mirror like" tape and try to customize mine up....but the only thing is the tape would prolly only last so long before it gets marked up. Anyone have any ideas on this? I think that other people out there would love to have this also besides me.
many that you see are actually made out of aluminum and polished. they use to make them for our cars, might still find them on ebay or used. i haven't seen one in years for our cars that you can buy new.
good luck.

Check under "coatings" in the Yellow Pages, you should be able to find someone that could do something for you.

Yeah I'm sure there are ways to do it, I put silver and gold platings (yes, real silver and gold) on eggs in high school so a piece of plastic shouldn't be that hard.
Someone that does that kind of thing for a living will know what the best way to do it is.

ive been doing searches on it.....so far not to much. I did find a site that sells a product called "mirror chrome". Its a paint that you spray on to pretty much anything and its basically a mirror chrome image. How well it works....not sure. All i do know is the price. $115 some odd dollars for one pint. not to cheap. I dont know if id want to spend that much on something that i dont know for a fact that its going to work to my or to any customers satisfaction.
