[V8] V8 Euros.. are they worth it?

[Ron Wainwright]

I got Euros I have to install as well in the v8..if I
can find the time....but I plan on Smoking the side
markers of the Euro's glass from the inside, & plan on
spraying that plastic chrome piece Black.
I'll get some pics out when there done.

paul-

i lived in spokane wa for many years.  that town has
some amazing 
industrial
companies that aren't kin to even large cities.  I
moved the the bay 
area a
few years ago and found it hard to get the same
services that i had in
spokane (such as custom spring building, wheel
reconstruction, custom 
hose
building like house of hose that some listers use). 
anyway, i can't
remember what i had refinished, but i did have plastic
refinished at a
company in spokane.  for lack of a better description,
it is basically
plastic re-chroming.  although, not called that.  i
have a hard time
believing plastic re-chroming can't be found else
where.  not exactly 
as
limited of appeal as hi pressure hydraulic hose
rebuilding.  i would be
happy to try and find the company that did the work
for me.  i still 
have an
office in spokane so am there all the time (including
now).
