I met them at the Aurburn Fall car auction last weekend and they seemed to be very nice guys. They had a whole semi full of trade out chrome bumpers for old cars.

They told me to send a pic of the 74 914's front bumper for a quote on removing a baseball size dent and rechroming it.

I am going to get the quote, but I would feel better about sending my original bumper across the nation if someone here has had good luck with them.

Thanks!

No idea but interested to hear the price.. There is a company in Wisconsin I talked to about chroming I lost the card but they will be at Jefferson swap meet at the end of the month and I will pass the info on..

check out Ogden Chrome. Perfection.

I think Bruce Stone did a group buy with them and there is a thread floating around hear about them. Some good, some not so good reviews.

I have a couple bumpers I was pondering taking to them. Let me know and maybe we could do a group order.

Finding a good chrome shop in CA is tough.

I was a part of that group buy years ago except it was the Bumper Shop.

The results were mediocre at best.

I wouldn.t drive down that direction during daylight hours let alone send my front bumper 2500 miles.

I.ve never heard of them however they are close to where the Bumper Shop is /was.

I.d look for something closer?

Astro plating in Van Nuys, Ca. Grandfathered-in triple plater still in L.A. area. Not to be confused with Van Nuys plating who is strictly aerospace only. Worth a call. I use them for my motorcycle restorations for 30 years, but never a bumper.

I like the idea of a group buy.. If we find someone good it would be cool to see pricing.

Here is the email I got today from bumperboyz:
