Chrome bumper deal (triple plate), The Bumper Shop in LA (gauging interest) Options

[narino]

So last February (2007) I saw The Bumper Shop had a deal to chrome each bumper for $175. Well unfortunately that deal was through Danny who I guess has gone his own way and left this shop.

The guys at the bumper shop are still interested in our group and have offered another deal of $275 per bumper. I guess their regular prices are $350 per bumper now.

What do you guys think? This a good deal, or do others have a better option out there I have missed?

We need minimum 5 bumpers to do it. Anyone interested in getting theirs rechromed with me?

OK folks, this particular "group buy" completed last year. Chris (?) aka banger has stepped up to organize a new buy this year. He's started a new thread for same located here:

Given that, we're going to close this thread and reference the new one. If you're interested in the deal, check out and post in the new thread.

I don't have the name of the business, but a year ago, I went to a hot rod show and there was a bumper truck there. They drove around the country picking up bumpers and took them back to a central shop. They filled holes and straighten bends before chroming. There wasn't an extra charge for filling, it was a flat fee. You had to wait until their truck was running your way again. I'm in Seattle and they said it could be a few months before they were back. You had the option of paying shipping to expidite return. I spoke with several guys at the show and they said the outfit did a good job at a very good price. I think I thew the flyer in my folder of vendors to contact when I get to that stage. I'll likely attend another hot rod show before i need to worry about my bumpers......hell, I don't even have paint on the car.
