Has anyone chrome wrapped 914 bumpers, or for that matter in any color? I'd think it would be fairly easy and much cheaper than buying new, stainless steel, or re-chroming.

3M makes a fantastic Chrome wrap in their 2080 series vinyl wrap.
But, I will say re-chrome is not as expensive as you might think and is still the real deal. Every American classic had chrome bumpers so there are ample shops in every state that can do it for you. |

I was under the impression environmental rules have closed down many who used to do it and made it expensive. |
