Price is the same... just finding someone willing to do it like it was from the factory is difficult, everyone wants to make it SOOO perfect because most customers are not going to be satisfied with production quality chrome.
R&D actually electrically strips the old plating, cleans the stamping, nickel plates it, adds tooling marks and sanding scratches (noted in the paperwork) and does not highly polish the nickel - nickel plates again, then Chrome.
I was expecting a premium... it was the same as they charge for FLAWLESS show chrome.

I like the fact that the edges are crisp like original and not buffed to death rounding them.
