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.

These bumpers shouldn't be too hard to wrap. A couple of considerations: Buy the highest grade wrap film you can find, 3M, Oracal or Arlon all make cast film with air release properties on the adhesive. My preference has always been 3M though.You may want to piece the center of the rear and then bring the sides in by starting at the ends. Recesses are always troublesome. Clean the bumper really well, clay bar clean then Isopropyl. And patience!
