Wow pretty - nice and shiny...! How much did the chrome ones cost?

I have chrome tips on my 545. There is no way I'm ever going to get those as shiny as they were new. I think they're beyond repair - multiple applications of chrome polish probably won't break through all the crud that's on there now.

Are you going to plan to polish often?

I paid $200 used from a member here. They are the factory chrome optional tips so I'm hoping the chrome holds up well.
