Re: Re-chroming
I think the best thing you can do is buy one that you can see and put your hands on.

EXACTLY! I have a set of 70 Firebird headlight bezels there now, they are pot metal and will tell the quality of a shop. A buddy of mine just sent his Buick bumpers there and they were more than reasonable. I am axiously waiting for their return.

Ditto on counterpart bumper. And no copper either

Re: Re-chroming
I had these parts rechromed recently by Paul's Chrome out of PA. They look great but I'm embarrassed to say how much it cost......

it was john at duke city bumper but they've sold out to Keystone automotive and no longer do chrome plating. They specialize in plastic bumper refinishing now. Im thinking there is a commercial plating place on 4th street past osuna but I dont know if they do private work or not or even if theyre still around. Id ask classic bodyshop on 4th street (also known as mad hopper customs) and see who they use to take parts to el paso for re chroming
