Possible Bumper - Stampes steel Chromed- if interested OTHER thread to sign up, This is not a GB thread- at least mine - starting a new thread Options

I have a connection in Vietnam that can facilitate the purchase of these at a good price. I wanted to get Mark Henery's blessing on this before proceeding but if his deal is dead we would like to put together a GB on these. So pending Mark's response I've posted. We will not make you buy the rubber tops but will offer a discount on them as incentive to help push the thread. Specifics will be pending response from Mark.

I get the tooling costing a lot and laying out the money for the goods and sitting on them till someone buys them is also very costly. I respect the business of making new parts for our cars and the cost of those goods manufactured. The fact that there are not extra regular chrome front bumpers floating around because cars get hit in the front the majority of accidents.

Good rears are around and can be re-plated. If some one puts a new Stainless Steel front bumper on, the grills from the fog lights do not match the bumpers. It is not a huge difference but the CW people catch it right away. Can the tooling used at the Stainless Steel factory make the regular steel units and chrome plate them?

These are all business decisions and if it does not pencil out I know it will not happen. At the end of the day most people on here want the cheapest way to go but for the concourse guys who will most likely require steel with chrome plating.

I have steel tolling all over Asia for smaller injection molded process parts which is still very heavy and takes a fork lift to move or mount in the molding machines. We never send back that tooling. At the end of the day lots of custom tooling is recycled, as I cannot do anything with it here. Some I use over and over and some I use for one job.
