    Im in the process of restoring my 1970 Grabber and I am looking for a good quality but still fair/inexspensive chromer to rechrome the front and rear bumpers .Advance plating in Nashville http://www.advancedplating.com/ quoted me $250.00 per bumper is this a good price or should i try to find a better deal does anyone know somewhere within 300 or so miles of West KY area that can perhaps give me a better price than that?

    DC Bumpers in Houston, I am not sure if they straighten and rechrome, or just swap them out with newer and chromier ones. I think they are about $250 each.

    So, the price sounds pretty good to me.
