Ya gotta love a guy moving forward with a plan. So good Luck. But I grew up in the San Diego area, and I never had anything done or bought in TJ that I expected to make it to it's one year anniversary. Nothing. I have no dog in this race, but if you could get high quality and cost effective chrome work done with any consistency, don't you think Sampson, V&H and others would be using that option? Do we know of any quality supplier using Mexican Chrome. Just my thoughts and opinions.

It would also be to your advantage to speak the language and well. So that nothing is left to interpretation. But I suspect any problems you might encounter with possible flaking chrome will be prep. Don't know how you can warranty something if you don't also control that part. I do wish you luck though.
I have heard a lot of good things about Mexican Chrome. I'm actually surprised.

Now, think about this... With the problems that Samson and V&H are having of late, and delivery issues of late... Maybe they are having their chrome in Mexico? Just a thought.. It would explain the issues that both companies are having.
Now, if that is true.. I would have an upper hand because I have someone in Mexico to inspect for me. I'm thinking way in the future when I still have to get my prototype made (hopefully in the next month). So, I'm not to concerned about having it chromed in Mexico.

Good question and one I have thought of. However, I'm not at the point in researching that just yet. I have read about lot of people crossing from San Diego to Tijuana to get stuff chrome for their lowriders. They never mention having to pay a tariff. But, its something I will have to think about down the road.
