Need chrome bumper advise....
Permalink  
 

I have some bumper chrome issues on my car. Some options are:

Ground up.  They say the best reproduction bumper on the market, nickel core and triple chromed. $180 each +tax & shipping.

Auto City Classics. Show quality $339 each +tax.

Keystone. Re-chrome mine, I do not believe they are original. Last I heard near $500 each.

Opinions or other good options?

Jon, I bought mine from ACC.  I don't think they were the show chrome version and they were Golden Lion or something like that from Taiwan.  The front bumper is very close to the OEM one, and the rear was close too.  I'm happy with the overall quality of the chrome, but it's not what I would call as deep as some of the higher priced options.

I'd suggest going over to see Denny and have him show you the show chrome version and see if you like it.  Especially since you live close to ACC.

 Denny's catalog shows an "excellent quality"for a lot less, not sure which one you have. I do have to run up and see Denny.

I must have done the 'excellent quality' ones, as they were around $150 ea. if I remember right.

Keystone did a great job for me on two irreplaceable ones for the Special. $500 each 10% off if you mention NCC.
