Who can recommend a source to re-chrome the bumpers? I checked with Tri-City Plating in TN, they seem to have reasonable prices. They currently have a 12 week lead time which works OK with my schedule. Can anyone comment on the quality of their work?

Thank you

I used TriCity. Great job, and good folks to deal with. They wanted to "trade out" my core for an already rechromed piece, but I wanted my original back. Cost about $20 extra, but worth it, to me. They were very nice about it.

Now if they want to "trade out" my core for some already done with a $20 savings, considering that my cores are not original to the car, works for me.
I have packaged the bumpers and will ship them next week.
I learned that both of them fit nice into the carton that Vinyl siding comes in, just trim the length.
I wrote to the Advanced Plating Co. for pricing info, but have received no reply. I plan to ship to Tri-City early next week.

Thanks for the input.
