Is it just my eyes or is there still alot of small pits on it? I would be emailing him to see if that emblem has as many pits as what appears on the pictures. Chrome can be deceiving on a picture but some chroming just makes it shiney. Hopefully it is perfect, just would double check for that kind of money.

Is it actually worth the cost ... almost 260.00 (shipping included).
Definately a rough chrome job.

have you ever seen a original piece if you can find 1 they are not perfect lol, there are flaws in them, rechroming dosn't take away the flaws just makes them shiny.
why rechrome it? hmm to get it back to its original condition. that is what we are doing right, trying to restore to original condition.
NOS or original didn't have pitting. That happens during its lifetime. Re-chroming is usually to get rid of a couple things, one being the imperfections and the other one is the shine. To me one is as important as the other otherwise I agree with the lipstick on the pig.
I see randyjr's friend has some more rechromed emblems for sale. Curious how the chroming turned out on them.
