Very nice! I can't believe the condition of your lenses. Were they original, or replacements? :shock:

They are in marvelous shape!

Sorry just a funny australian way of saying how did you get that work done for $200? Most places here quote $500 for a bumper to be fully chromed.

Very simple. In the first world, the buyer pays, in money, the costs of containing and safely disposing of the highly toxic waste that results from chrome plating. In the third world, everyone else pays, in sickness and death and environmental destruction, the costs of not containing or safely disposing of the highly toxic waste that results from chrome plating.

The King has spoken... :)

What Dan is saying is partly true, in most cases. Ive seen car workshops here dumping used engine oil straight into the drain! however not all of them do that.

And certainly not this shop that i sent the stuff to. Although its an old shop but I see they have proper ways of containing the toxic chemical like proper containers that will be send to whereever the recycle center or what have you.
