SO.....
Long story short Mike Warhurst (Warpig) had helped to broker a deal for stainless bumpers that looks like it's well....dead. I'm looking into making front and rear bumpers off shore with a company that a student of mine's uncle owns. They have experience in stamping and have pressed big enough to do these. QC is an issue that will need to be addressed, and at 1st it will be late bumpers. They are very labor intensive to do, but if there is an interest I will visit the factory and see what we can do. I plan to actually ship over front and rear clips to check fits. That and final payment will be made in person as they are packed to insure no surprises. I'm shooting for about $800-900 a set but would need to do about 50 sets to make it work. I will also be offering discounted rubber bumper tops for those that want it to help make this work. So, lets start again. Who would be interested at that level? |

I still wish I knew of a quality rechroming place and we could organize an exchange program with them for 914 bumpers. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I still wish I knew of a quality rechroming place and we could organize an exchange program with them for 914 bumpers. regarding the rechrome, since you are in WI, Keystone in Brainard MN has a good rep. I got their name from other members here , Bob B(bigkat) and a couple others. But searched for a while, and I just bought a rear bumper from sixaddict here in SC that was redone by a place in TN, called Tri-city Plating.(rear bumper) and looks amazing, so I sent my early front one there last week. $475. So once that comes back I will also send off my late front one that is on the car and the other rear one I have and I will be reselling one set to pay for the other. Just FYI- |
