I don't think you can dip-chrome plastic parts, since they don't conduct electricity. Chroming plastic parts usually involves vapor-deposition or some similar method, and will probably cost more than traditional triple-chroming, if you can even find someone that will do vapor-deposition for small batches.

If it makes you feel any better, the chrome downtubes cost about what the carbon fiber ones do, and I haven't regretted getting the CF tubes.
