Recommendations for window rechroming in SoCal

I am in OC and have a set of vent windows that need to be rechromed before I put them on the '74.

Any recommendations to pass along?

I supposed shipping is OK if it is a net-net better deal.

Thanks!

Hello - have you reached out to any trusted Porsche shops and asked who they use?

Like Dmitry recommends, if you want to stay local, ask the P-car shops around here who they use.

If you don't find what you're looking for around here, a Pelican, Shaun, has started a company, Tru6, that does just that type of stuff. He's a perfectionist and a stand-up guy. He's in Boston, so you'd have to ship. But you won't be disappointed. PM "Shaun @ Tru6"

If you are in the S.D. area, I can make a recommendation.

Correct me, but isn't window trim polished aluminum after 67' or so? If so, the recommended procedure for a factory finish is to repolish and clear anodize.

However, it's unsure how your refurbished vent window trim will match up with the existing window trim. Could be a slippery slope time ..... or not.
