I think the real issue is the labor / difficulty of prepping the surface inside the grill bars for chrome and polishing the chrome between the grill bars afterward. I haven't even found a chrome shop willing to let me pay them additional labor for the difficulty associated with dipping the grill in one peice
Then finding a grill suitable for chrome is another story, I bought 7 before I found 3. Who wants to cut apart a perfectly good grill and try to bolt it back together? Not me... I'm still lookin for a better option

I can get you a number for a company in Medford, Oregon. They'll most likely not have a problem dipping the whole thing. They were pretty reasonable too when I called to get estimates for rechroming items on the fire truck.
