Default Rear brake lever chrome?

The chrome on my rear brake peddel looks cheap compared to the rest of the chrome on the bike. Are they all like that or just mine?
Trying to figure if I should complain to the dealer or not.
08 SG.

Thanks

I doubt that the lever is chrome plated; mine isn't.

My extended brake lever 42638-03 looks cheap too.
Chrome started to blister after 6 months !!
Dealer told me there's a 90-day warranty WTF ???
$ 165 for a piece of Chinese crap

Did you replace the OEM levers with chrome? If not, they're just polished which is why their "chrome" doesn't look as good as your other chrome parts.

My chrome levers look just fine.

Just one of many things you have to scratch your head about with the beloved MOCO and the way they do things.

Mine was ugly as well so I pulled it and had it chromed, now it looks like it should have in the first place...
