There was a guy on the site that was doing them or getting them to Mexico or something. Anyone have a budget source for rechroming?

I had mine done in Tucson. About $1000 for front and rear, including some repair work and welding up the front t*t holes.

$400-600 seems to be the going rate.

I get the same unless I send it to California. Certain states are better for certain chemical processes.

So that's the question, who are you sending to?

I tried using Ogden for my front bumper.... they wanted $2,795 and told me that was a great price. Admittedly, it had the GT cooler modification and they needed to weld up 6 holes, but come on, it is essentially a flat smooth bumper.

I ended up using Juan Mejia at Ultimate Quality Bumpers & Wheel Chroming located down in southern CA. He did a very good job, not perfect. Took about 6 weeks. I got his name and number from another member's posting in a thread. Sorry I do not recall who posted it.

Saw Oscar last Sat, he’s been busy. I’m sure he’s just taking a minute to catch his breath…

Is that the six that ran into a pole? I was bummed when you picked that up, that one spoke to me, although I think it ended up in the right hands, I don’t know how I was going to fix that damage!

Yup, that's the one. Finally starting on it. It has been a long road.

Nice, wishing you luck and patience! Hopefully you'll continue the build thread on that one... I'll be on the lookout for the thread and rooting for you!

We did a group buy on bumper rechrome at The Bumper Shop in 2009.

It was only $250 plus shipping at the time. It was not a fantastic job. Driver quality and for the price I was fine with it. Just sayin...
