take regular cast iron street elbow, clean it really,really, really good ( in and out),clean it again....then use an epoxy primer, then use 'chrome' spray paint.

This should take you 2 days to do....

or...

call a plumbing store, see if they stock one....most shower heads use 45* though....

or...try google 'chrome street elbo' ?
