Does anybody know of a source for a chrome strut bar for a 2011 vert?

I don't see why you couldn't just take off the OEM strut bar and get it chromed.

They look really nice powder coated to match the paint..
I've done them in Black & White...

Well th ecar will be black, with black wheels, so I'm thinking a black strut bar might be a tad too much black, so I'm thinking maybe a chrome one would dress things up a bit. Or maybe a white one to match the white stripes?

How much for the powder black?

That's always a possibility, but I wouldn't be able to drive the car while it's off being plated. Or at least 'shouldn't ' drive it with the bar off.

I like the satin finish bar, but the cast ends would look great powder coated. Another option; Chrome the ends and body-match the center...

The shop that did my super charger (SPi) on my vert had the mounts painted to match and had the bar polished.
