I know Chrome is not an in thing for a lot of guys any more, but I am curious if anyone has dealt with Camaro Chrome before and what your experience is?
I believe they are in TN.

You are not the only one who still likes a little chrome. I ordered some pieces from them a few years ago. Great quality and good to deal with.

Thanks for some input! There are several pieces I am wanting to add to my list from them just trying to find if they are Good guys to deal with,

After spending several years restoring an 80 Corvette and making this Gen 5 my own for the last year one thing I have learned. The list for Great places to buy parts from is Very, Very Short, as I am sure many of you already know. It is Sad and looks like to me most are just internet faces that do a bunch of drop shipping and NO customer service! Thanks Again BAD DAB!!

American Car Craft is another big company that makes custom chrome pieces for our cars.

They are a Viable option and I have used them. Their customer service is not Super but in most cases adequate. They do sell several items that are bend to make it fit. IMHO not impressed with those . If you bend it and can't make it fit I am sure you just paid 4 times the price for a piece you won't be able to return. Overall better than most.
I have not been able to find much info on Camaro Chrome, thus hoping for feedback from members here. It looks like they probably started as suppliers for Chrome parts on Motorcycles and expanded into accessories for Camaros. Still hoping to get more feedback!

Oh ok, good info. I haven't bought any of their pieces, I have just used them for vinyl install on my car a couple years ago. I have 3 of their physical locations very close to me, that's how I knew about their parts manufacturing.

This pic was from several years back, everything on the car and underhood was from American Car Craft, after this pic I found some chrome window trim for all around the side windows from CARID.COM..

I like that! Unfortunately the chrome would be lost on my white car. Looks great on yours though.

I have ordered from CARID.COM Most of the time it has been an okay experience, but if you have any problems (like i did on a set of wheels for the Vette) it can be a nightmare. I am not sure what these places don't understand about good customer service. In the end when they don't handle things it costs them thousands of $$$$. All these types of places want to do is blame the manufacturer and claim there is nothing they can do.
