Why don't you just invest some time and elbow grease polishing the ones you have? A little Mother's (or Auto-Sol) and a good buffing wheel can give a chrome-like finish if you put the effort into the job.

Hangs his head in shameful guilt! I even go one futher. On the float bowls, not only do I only polish the outside two bowls, I only polish the outside side of the outside floats. lol

I like polished myself, but if you want chorme it's an easy fix. Drop of the tops and bowls at a chrome shop and pick them up a week or two later. It won't be very expensive.

Another rule with polishing, is only polish items you have access to. I'm sure you know that polishing is a pain. I only wish I followed my own advice. :)
