Just curious if anyone ever had their plastic fog-light grills rechromed. Can it be done?

Thomas,

Be sure to ask if the Chrome Plating is for outside/exterior service?
My local area "Plastic" Chrome Plater's suggested only for interior parts. They said it would peel off if taken through a car wash or winter weather conditions. The ones we have on our 914's are plated using some kind of vacuum plating system that works only on new parts.
