Arm Wrestling
Having my armrests re-chromed proved to be a little tricky as they are plastic and not metal. As the electroplating/chroming process is more difficult on plastic, it is more expensive and harder to find someone willing to take on the work. I finally found a place that would do the job at a reasonable price and pictures of the results are below:

I still need to give the vinyl pads a good cleaning and polish up the ashtrays, but I won’t be putting these back onto the car until I get the door panels back anyway.

Where did you get these done? and about how much; if you don’t mind me asking.

I will find the information when I get home and get back to you.

Since these are plastic I could not get my local metal shop to re-chrome the armrests for me at a reasonable rate. I had to look around and find a place online to mail my arm rests to. They were a bit difficult to find, so I will have to dig around for the site and get back to you.
