I'd recommend El Monte Plating here in SoCal at around $300-350 including straightening last time I used them. I was very happy and would definitely recommend. When I was renting a hangar at the El Monte Airport over there many of the car guys also used El Monte.
I tried to save a few bucks once and I tried a place called Bumperman, at around $250 each was a good price. Came out OK for a daily driver but I was not as happy as the work that El Monte did. |

If you are interested in Stainless Bumpers....
First I would check with Mark H. And next I would contact Harrington Group, I would contact anyone else last. Harrington makes the bumpers in Vietnam.. I bough a set directly from Harrington and they look great.. |

QUOTE(mb911 @ Nov 21 2017, 05:44 PM)  QUOTE(Woodside914 @ Nov 21 2017, 02:02 PM) What do you guys think about the newer stainless-steel bumpers out in the market?...just as good? There is supposed to be a group buy going on those through Mark Henry.. I am not sure of status.. I think they look great though.. Status is they look great, but I wasn't happy with a bunch of little things mostly on the fronts. The topper holes were off and grill holes weren't trimmed out correctly being the worst offenders. This all added up to 6-8 hours of labour for me per set, times that by 20-30 sets was a no go for me. They have stated the corrected sample will be ready for shipping next week, but shipping from Nam is about 3 weeks. So if even if every thing is good we are looking at 8-10 plus weeks before I would be ready to ship the first batch. I will update as soon as I've seen and test fit the next set of samples. For CW bumpers you will have to go the rechrome route, all SS bumper brands have a slightly different shine/colour than chrome. But on this point no one but a CW would see it. I'm hoping they can correct the issues because they look awesome on my car... not to mention I'm around $5K out of pocket on this project. |
