    The bumper you send to Tri-City is the bumper you get back. Bumper Boyz will keep the bumper you send them and send you back one they have in stock, often a piece of crap. Tri-Ciy does not do that.

    Best Chrome Plating Service

    I've had great luck with these guys: http://thechromeshop.com

    Quality Service, Good turnaround times, they stand behind their work and their rates are reasonable.

    Found them after a bad experience with a shop in NY. The just did the chrome on a pal's 1940 Ford Coupe and it looks great.

    Since somebody decided to resurrect a 3 year old post, thought I'd add my 2ยข worth. Advance Plating must be liking their TV coverage, the quote they gave me last week was $650 per bumper! :huh: Needless to say, they didn't get mine. :rolleyes:
