The front bars are a little dull, but the back have been re done and still look good.

Be sure to get them triple plated and check whether they do any prep work, straightening, polishing, etc. otherwise you'll have to get that sorted yourself.
Is this for a Corvette?

Yeah, you've seen the photo, it arrives today :grin:
The front are straight, original, not rusty, no damage, just dull and pretty sure beyong polishing.

The polishing comes after stripping off the old chrome and before chroming. It has to be done right for the best finish.

Yes, like everything, it's all in the preperation, but what I meant was, they won't polish up as they are.
The chrome has faded beyond what any metal polish can achieve.
So they need to be stripped back to steel and rechromed.
Cheers

This is what I'm getting at, some places only do plating, they don't strip or polish so you have to be sure to ask questions and make sure you're getting it done right and/or have it prepped right (elsewhere) before you get it plated.
