Not really I would like to have chrome side covers vs the jet black ones

Never seen any. You could have your current ones "chromed", there are processes that achieve a mirrored look.

Somebody was selling chrome ones on here, but I think it was for a classic?

Wonder what that process would cost

You can have them painted to look chrome. Eastwood.com sells a chrome aerosol paint. I have never tried these but you can google and see results.

These folks can do it and do very high quality work. They are also very easy to work with, give them a call...

Actual chrome plating requires metal, I believe, as electricity is involved. Would have to be something fake but chrome like.

Chrome paint doesn't look like chrome, it looks like silver paint. So that's probably not going to fly. However...

I hear a lot of interesting stuff about "Spectrachrome". Might be something to look into. Very very chrome like but goes on like paint, well it's a multi-stage process but still. Maybe can find someone in the vicinity who does it.

There's also http://www.alsacorp.com/products/killercans/kc/killerchrome.htm one could try at home; no idea how close to actual chrome it gets, but at least it should beat spray paint.
