    Has anyone had really good luck with re-chroming of the small front bumpers? Who did you use, what kind of pricing for a show chrome finish? Thanks!

    Tri City !!! I got a rear one off of them and it was perfect. Now my nice front one doesn't look as nice so I'll be getting a front one from them next year.

    I just called both places. With both you get the same bumper back. Both said about 3 weeks as of today, but that might change with the nicer weather. Tri was $300 and Atlanta was $275.

    The hood lip trim should be aluminum. There is a place in Elizabethton Tennessee that can chrome pot metal. Not far from Tri-cities Plating. You might call Tri-Cities and get the phone number.

    Got the call, bumper is done. So that was 11 days after they received it. Work is fast. I hope it is also good.
