According to the thief, enginyr, it can be done.

Unfortunately, the only examples he offers are my pictures, which he stole, of my RX 300.

I've repeatedly asked him to remove my pictures, but he refuses to do so. Pretty lame for a gay...I mean guy, who was giving you crap for "copying" his ad.

Please note: I have never had my grille chromed, particularly by a thieving, lying, hypocrital jackass like enginyr.

So, can it be done? Hey, who can you believe these days?

Default wow....

hey paddy wagon, nice to hear from you. I thought I was the only one who knew what was up with enginyr. All the things you said I said to his face (well, on a monitor) in the thread in the GS forum "My site is up" by him.

read through the thread.......you might like it

I've read it...I've notified CL Mods. They're aware of him.
I've E-mailed and PM'ed him several times.

He says "CHILL THE ****** OUT", he'll remove them,
but it's been 4 days. Bulls**t...He has time to log on
to CL and post mindless drivel.

I expect if he could learn to stop plaing with his d**k,
he might find enough time to remove my pics.

Whats all involved? How much paint stripper, etc.? So the chrome is actually under the black paint, or is this steo just for prepping it to get chromed by a shop? After you take it down to chrome, will it tarnish if it is just under the paint?

chrome is under the paint. easy to do just tedious and time consuming. apply some paint stripper.......let it sit for about 5 minutes to loosen up the paint, then hit it with some steel wool. keep rubbing it and you will see the chrome.
