Hung - I noticed the exact same thing about Jim's steps as well!

I'm not sure I've ever seen a set of fuels steps that shiny!
Jim - Are they for sale? They'd be the best looking part of my plane for a while.

They're shiny because I had them (gag, gagging and gagging some more) chrome plated and like I've always said......chrome is for pimps.

These are the original Cessna steps so, unfortunately, it's not an aftermarket option that would help you.
