Default your experience with ebay chrome exchange

I'm looking at ebay and some of the chrome exchange providers for the lower fork legs and maybe rims. Who has had a good or bad experience with the process. Any sellers to stay away from or ones that you thought did a great job. Seems like its an easy way to save some bucks vs buying the HD kit

I am looking at the chrome fork exchange too. I think the products out there are probably very good. impress-chrome was the seller I looked at. 100% positive feedback. I might have to clean out the change jar and look under the sofa cushions and see if I have enough money.

I got my chrome front end from Impress on eBay. Really high quality work, and refunded my deposit on the originals the day they received them. I'd recommend them to anybody.

Impress was the one I was primarily looking at also. Glad to hear they do good work, kinda thought so after reading the feedback. Also glad to hear they refunded the core $$$ quickly, that was another concern.

I did a core exchage for the lower front forks and the chrome was better than the factory chrome elsewhere on the bike. I don't remember which seller it was but it was the lowest price seller on Ebay at the time.

Just what I was looking for too, sure beats to 300+ for a set of chrome front lowers.

When I got mine last year, I did a lot of research on chromers. Impress not only has great reviews on eBay, they have great ones on the general Internet as well. Price was one of the lowest, and the quality blows away HD, Kury, and other chrome pieces I've seen.
