New Repro Bumper quality is BAD - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Last year I purchased a new front bumper for my 64. from the TRUCK and CAR SHOP, out of Orange California

It sat in the box for almost a year until yesterday.
Upon removing it from the box, I was initially impressed with the chrome quality, it looked really nice.

Later when I was ready to install the bumper, I noticed many large scratches under the chrome finish, almost like circular sanding scratches, from a grinder, were not removed prior to the chrome plating.

When installed, the defect is not readily noticed, unless you look for it, but I'm not happy

The brand of the bumper was Counterpart.
