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 |

Alright. We got another deal.
With a commitment of 10 bumpers. $250 per bumper, triple plate (with copper) $15 per hole to fill Naturally plus shipping to your home. He said it averages about $60 from LA to Portland, so that should give you an idea to guage what it will cost to ship to you. Also, sorry no black chrome option. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Ok, here is the list of those in. Let me know if I should take you off of it, or add you to it! 2 Narino 1 Warrenoliver 4 Wilhelm 2 914dave 2 freezing14 ?
