Oh thats it? So what did they do just sand all of the powder coating off and polish it up? And How much did it cost?

i sanded the powdercoat off myself. (ask them how much they want to do this for you because it took me 6 hours of sanding and my wrists hurt like hell for a week)
then he charged me $60 to polish it with a basic job. the guy works on kitchen sinks and tubs and stuff so this was not a regular job for him. he wanted $200 but i talked him down for a so-so job, so it isnt as shiny as chrome but it looks ok for the money. if anyone ever comes out with a chrome one, ill sell mine.

Summit Racing sells one that is an OE replacement made by matrix. It i triple chrome plated for about $240. All you have to buy isa gasket to go with it.

I had one ordered a while back, but gave up after about 2 weeks. Just got a refund. It was on backorder for a long time, so apparently, alot of people bought them. I dunno about quality. Anyone out there have a matrix chrome plated valve cover?
