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. |

Then the mark up is reasonable. |

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. |

If I ever wanted to add those holes I can drill it since it is stainless - can't do that with chromed steel.. |
