Did someone organize a bumper rechroming group buy in the past? I thought I read that some where? I was wondering if it was worth to try and organize another one?

I'm not dealing with Harrington (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
Don't know the ballpark yet and it would depend on how many on a group buy, but USA spec VW ghia bumpers which are 8 or 9 separate pieces for each bumper are $900/set. I'd call them excellent from 5 feet, not absolutely perfect but pretty damn good. They also lose a couple of points because stainless isn't quite as shiny as chrome. But on the pro side stainless could be repaired in case of mishap. Right now they said they would work with us on a price and send a trial set for fitment. I could send the boys bumpers they are drivers quality, but I don't have a /6 rear bumper. Like Harrington they make these bumpers by hand. If there is enough interest I will pursue this further. |
