Can anyone recommend and shops in around the lehigh/northampton area? I'd rather drop a part off than ship it some place I've never been to.

I shipped my stuff to RB chroming in Dallas without worry and they did a great job.

What was the turn around time? I see you're also in Ca so shipping probably didn't take that long. I'm in Pa so I'd rather find someplace closer first but I'll look them up.

edit: Just googled their website. They do some good work.

They take about 2-3 weeks IIRC. I was a little in a hurry at the time and Brian did meet my schedule. My one mistake with him was having them plate my stock exhaust tips. They should have known the triple plate would not work on stainless. Anything aluminum or steel will turn out great :)

You're 500 miles closer to RB than Jim is. ;)

I haven't used RB myself, but have heard nothing but good reviews.

Didn't realize that texas was that much closer lol. Their website says 1 week turn around time. I guess if I can find some cores it wouldn't bother me too much since my car wouldn't be down at all.
