Stainless Bumpers, who has bought them ? Options

[gandalf_025]

I have been looking for real nice chrome bumpers and so far not a lot of luck.

Started looking at the stainless repro ones. They aren't cheap, but could work out real well.

Found a place in the U.K. selling them for 1815.00 for a pair with 135.00 shipping

Also found them at another vendor in the U.S. {he who shall not be named}
I called them and their price is around 2600.00 plus 50.00 shipping.
I asked if they were not the same bumpers being sold in the U.K. and he said NO,
they were coming from the same place {Vietnam} but the U.K.
ones were made in a different mold and were therefore inferior in quality.

I would really rather buy in the U.S. and do away with the international shipping thing.
But the price difference isn't chump change. Does anyone know if this line
I was handed by the U.S. Vendor has any basis in reality ?
I know the reputation of the place, but any hard facts ??
