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? Gintedit - June 24, 2009: 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: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=96986 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. This post has been edited by Gint: Jun 24 2009, 08:25 PM |

Ok, just got off of the horn with the shop. Here is an option they offered, and I'd like your guys' opinion.
They offered $235 per bumper but that is without Copper. He said that when danny did the $175 deal last year those bumpers did not have copper. I personally get the impression he is just trying to justify the higher price. Anyone who had them done last year know for sure if they did or did not put copper on your bumpers prior to chroming? For copper bumpers it's still $275 each, they aren't budging. Minor dents and straightening is included. $15 additional per hole to plug. Also I understand without the copper the quality/durability of the chrome is not as good. Would the savings be worth it in the long run? [edit] crap forgot to ask about black chrome. |
