I had a top re-chromed last year. It was $225 to strip, repair the rust spots and the 2 dents that were in the lid and then go through the chrome process. The lid tured out great. I know that is considerably more expensive than purchasing a new lid. I know at "Finishing Touch" for them to re-chrome a lid is around $400-$500. I just wanted the original lid that came with my car so I coughed up a little more money on an already blown apart budget.

I got an estimate from The Chrome Shop a few months back for "around $600". I said thanks but no thanks, I'll keep the repro lid for the time being. He understood.
