Chrome shops are almost a dime a dozen int he states. Here in Canada, they are few and far between and prohibitively expensive. They are aso regulated to within an inch of their life due to the chemicals used.
I've actually paid for shipping, brokerage, exchange and border taxes/duties for a chrome bumper out of the states and it was still cheaper than sending the original to a re-plater in country (they were in Quebec).
Spray chrome process is neat and looks pretty good, but you can tell it's not real chrome when you get closer than 10 feet or so.
