Where to get chrome grilles?

Does anyone know where I could purchase a set of chrome grilles for an '82 Trans Am. I found the standard ones at hawksthirdgen but can find chrome ones anywhere.

I'm not sure if they even exist, but people keep seeing my car and suggesting I do it. Personally I agree. If anyone out there can fabricate a pair please contact me.

Chrome spray paint looks awful. You'll have to get the actual chrome paint used on helmets and those *bling bling* cars in calendars that you see every once in a while. Its something like $100 a quart though so get ready to pay alot if you have a shop to spray it. To fabricate a metal one will be either expensive or it'll look halfassed.
