I got all the same repro items on my 67 GTO that still look great from my restoration in 2001. If all the center caps chrome pitted after 1 year and $125/set, we'd have a lot more complaints on PY. Not saying it doesn't happen, but if this were the norm, we'd all know about it. Tell me about how your car is stored year round. Anything in your garage that might retain moisture or humidity? Are you near water? Below Sea Level? Your complaints remind me of owners that keep their car near a shore 'salt air' climate. If some of that stuff is only 1 year old, most suppliers will replace as defective.

I don't live in a bad climate however, ANY new or repo chrome plated parts that I put on my restorations ALWAYS get several coats of wax before installation and then a coat at least once a year. I've seen these parts get rust pits after time, but I've never had any problem and I've purchased ten's of thousands of dollars worth of parts over the past 30 years.
