I've never heard of anybody doing this. Plus I'm pretty sure (but not 100% positive) that the A pillar covers are one time use items... Removing the exisitng cover damages some breakaway tabs and they can't be re-used. Instead they have to be replaced with new covers.
If you wanted to chrome these, you'd need to buy new covers, chrome them first and then install them... Then hope you never have a side airbag deploy or any kind of mechanical issue that would require removal of the dash... Like an A/C blower failure (ask me how I know
)
Although personally, I'd be very concerned about the glare off of chromed A pillars... They would seem to me to be at just the right angle to bounce that sun right into your eyes...
