QUOTE(Gint @ Sep 19 2023, 06:02 PM)  We did a group buy on bumper rechrome at The Bumper Shop in 2009. It was only $250 plus shipping at the time. It was not a fantastic job. Driver quality and for the price I was fine with it. Just sayin... Can we get another group buy? With the current inflation it should be just shy of infinity. I have one or two that need done. Matt |

I called Quality. Just need to dig out the bumpers and send a photo for a quote.

Rick,
What about the place in brainerd? I also hear there is someone just south of you, I can find that out if necessary. I also have a rear I would like done, maybe we can pack them together. Jule |

The place between me and the metro I think sends them to Northstar. 6 to 8 month wait time. |

I'm in the Twin Cities too and have a front and rear that need rechroming as well. I haven't dug into it locally at all, but count me in if there is any benefit in a larger order.

In Nor Cal most chrome shops are closing due to California restrictions. Getting harder to find them

@burton73 - I just paid $995 to have a front chromed and that was the best deal I could find. That does not include the cost of shipping or the actual bumper. I hate to say it but $1,300 for that bumper would be a good deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
