Re: Chrome bumpers, rechrome or new (Pat71vette)
From what i have seen, it is best to rechrome them.You know they will fit right, cost a little less then new bumpers, and the triple chrome plating finish has a better shine and clarity then a new bumper will have. Rechroming will make the bumpers show quality instead of new quality.

I agree. Some people have problems with the fit of new bumpers, especially the front. If it is bent just a slight bit off it will look terrible.

And you will probably rechrome the new ones because the shine on OEM chrome is not good enough anymore.

Ok rechrome it is so were can I get the best for the resonable cost.
I know kinda of a oxymoron statement the best for the cheapest
but thats the way it always is.
best for the price.
