While my car was being repainted (after being rear ended), I decided to have the front bumper rechromed. I had originally made a pretty rough cut out, so I asked the shop to clean up my cut, straighten any waves in the bumper (it was already pretty straight), and then rechrome it.
It turned out way better than I was expecting. They basically rebuilt my original work and the chrome looks awesome. I can't wait to see it on the car (done in about a week)... -Steve (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dio314.diomedestorage.com-654-1288238686.1.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dio314.diomedestorage.com-654-1288238687.3.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dio265.diomedestorage.com-654-1288238688.4.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dio265.diomedestorage.com-654-1288238688.5.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dio314.diomedestorage.com-654-1288238689.6.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dio159.diomedestorage.com-654-1288238689.7.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dio265.diomedestorage.com-654-1288238687.2.JPG) |

> Who did it and how much $?
I paid $450 but he did say that he greatly underestimated the project and wouldn't do another one. Or I think it would be 4x the price. The body shop it's at actually contracted it out and I never got their name. I'll ask though... -Steve |
