There are only TWO places on the throttle body that wear is a problem. One is the shaft and chroming there is not going to help only boring and bushing on the shaft and body will work. And, the second is where the butterfly rubs on the bottom of the throat of the body. Shim it up like I told you on the phone and it will not rub and there will be no more wear. So you can have it chromed if you like but that won't help with the wear problems.
