Can mid-year side exhaust covers be restored? If so, can I do it myself or is it best to send them out. Also, what is the cost of someone else restoring them vs myself?

Re: Side Exhaust Restoration
Don't know of any such services because, until recently, these were available off-the-shelf from GM/Chevy and the typical 'damage' that results to originals is major stone dings in cosmetic metal surfaces (especially forward behind front wheels) as well as paint wear/chip to the silver colored accent paint that runs between ribs. Labor costs to attempt 'restoration' of well worn covers basically rendered the consideration uneconomic....- Top

Jim:
I restored mine, myself, about 3 years ago, before the covers again became available in reproduction. Although they are perfect in every way, I would not repeat the process. You are better off buying new ones.
If you have a lot of time on your hands, then the trick involved, is that you must have the remnants of the clear anodizing stripped off before you can attempt to refinish them.
