If anyone would like to convert from black bumpers to chrome bumpers, The Bumper Shop can do this for you. I spoke to Nestor at the bumper shop, and he says there is no problem chroming the black bumpers. He is actually doing one of the bumpers on my car now. The cost would be $250 for the chroming and $20 for sand blasting the black bumper. If anyone is interested, let me know, since we have a deal running with the bumper shop now.

how does he get all the little dings and dents and pitting out?

The pound them out, straighten and fill just like on a chrome bumper.

The painted bumpers tend to warp when chromed, dont know why.... but they do........

Maybe if they know this they can prevent it from happening......

Will see how it comes out, it should be done in a week. Nestor assured me that it would be no problem to do it, and that the results should be great. Will have to take some pic when it is done, and judge.
