It's plastic so you can't get it plated because it's not metal and they need to dip it in cleaner acid which will disintegrate it. The best you'd be able to do is a spray on chrome paint....

Or spend some decent $$$ and take it to a machine shop to have them fabricate you an emblem!!!

You could try these guys. There's also another site that does similar things for wheel center caps, etc.

They say they use a vacuum plating process, not just paint.
