If they screw up again and you manage to get some money back, why not give the f+f and bars to Dan so he can hit them with the silver base/candy red. That option seemed like a no-brainer to me and would have been much better for your blood pressure/wallet. The silver base/candy finish was really nice - obviously the candy/chrome looked better but you need flawless chrome for best results and it doesn't look like those chromers can give you that.
You might be able to find a nice set of NOS or survivor chrome CW freestyle bars on US eBay but you'd have to be patient.

Hang in there, I'm sure it will be worth it. :daumenhoch:
There was a set of chrome CW freestyle bars on eBay.UK not long ago. Not perfect but would have been easier to rechrome than your raw set. Ended now so a moot point anyway. :D

If the phantom photon can't sort you out PM Rooski as he makes these.
BTW the pro neck and tuf neck wedges are different.
