FYI Rich Bontempi's High Performance House in Redwood City, CA sells new stainless steel chromed bumpers. They are a bit expensive and I have not seen one. Just sayin'.

Rich Bontempi has a reputation as being a bit of a bandit! His stainless bumpers are $1300 each.

There's a company in Great Britain that makes the stainless bumpers and I'm sure that 's where he gets them from. Seems to me their price was in the $800-900 range per bumper.

Is that pound sterling? Then the mark up is reasonable.

They sell out of Hong Kong, that's why British Pounds. The bumpers are hand made in Vietnam. Not perfect but pretty good, nice thing is if they ever get dinged they can be pounded back and/or welded and polished back to new.
Stainless isn't quite as shiny as chrome.

2 bumpers here will easily run you $2500.

I have the stainless bumpers on my red car. I bought them without front license plate holes or rear tow hook hole. If I ever wanted to add those holes I can drill it since it is stainless - can't do that with chromed steel..
