67/8 quarter ornaments ??
 
I have a bunch of the quarter ornaments but they need re-chroming. Are the current repops ok or should I look into re-chroming a set ??

There are good repops and there are bad repops. Here's a thread on that topic:

Edit: I found the pictures I took but not the article I wrote. Here's the most compelling reasons NOT to buy the cheap ones.

The studs are the wrong spacing and the shape is different:

This pic shows the difference in thickness, finish and stud length between the two:

The good ones are from Trimparts
