My car currently has a fiberglass bumper and I want to go with a steel bumper. For chrome bumpers with the oil cooler cut out, what are my options? Does someone make the bumper that way or do I have to get a new one, cut it up and rechrome it? Thanks.

@mb911 - Ben did do my GT opening front bumper and it came out exactly the way I wanted; it matches my steel GT opening valance perfectly.

I had it chromed by a fellow I found in another thread, posted by one of our members. Took about 6 weeks and cost me $950 for the chroming. It would have been a few hundred less, but I had 6 holes that needed welding and finishing.

Juan Mejia - bummers.wheels at gmail dot com. He is located in SoCal.

As received from Ben; checking fitment:
