    Oh,well mine is a 2 door with the delux interrior.Now that you mention it the 4 door I had years ago had (a 73) had the long ones in front and the shorties in back and it was an unmolested rot box(needed the 302 and 3 speed for a 65 mustang I had) The 73 had door pulls like the 2 door up front also.(thats just weird)

    There are companies that can chrome and re-chrome plastic parts. I think it is actually called "vacuum metalizing" or something similar.

    Mainly it is used in automotive realms for dashboard gauge cluster restoration.

    I am sorry I can't be more specific as far as a company that does this, but if you search that out, it ought to get you there.

    Thanks I will be looking too.Since I finally got a chance to call and got the same answer about the chrome bases:mad:Got my armrests from NPD today as well,I am not happy with the quality:mad:They sent me the wrong door handels too.Called em and they will send me the right ones for free.Oh and I get to keep the ones I DONT WANT cause they are wrong.Any one need Delux door handels for a 71 to 73 mustang???This is why I hate mail order.I preferr to have it in my hot little hand before I pay for stuff like this.I am bummed.
