Default where to get plastic chromed

I have a set of fog light surrounds for my bf2 front end that I would like to get chrome but the cost is fortune when I contacted different places electroplating the plastic was going to be $220 a set and spray chrome was going to be $170 a set, both just as dear as my local dealership for new ones in chrome. Does any one have any ideas for getting the chrome look cheaper than a arm and a leg.
