Try a Mopar parts event or a local classic car paint shop, they know who's the best in your area.  |

For my '70 I had them rechromed up here in AK, $175 for the front and $125 for the rear, they came out great. When I moved to VA the local chrome place wanted over $700 to do 1 bumper  so I used Auto medic supply and did a 1 for 1 swap at $225 each...I was happy with them, they're at most big shows and you can save shipping |

I have heard nothing but bad things about the Bumper Boyz. Most say after a couple years, you will wish you didn't go with them.

Bumper Boyz are garbage. I don't even want to go into it again, but their quality sucks and their business practices are worse. Do NOT give them your credit card info!!!

Well if auto medic supply and bumper boys are the same I guess here's one good story. I put them on in Sept '05 and their fine. they shipped the rear and I picked up the front at Carlise...no troubles for me |

Tri city is thebest. A lot of platers prep the bumpers people send them and then send them to Tri-City to be chromed. Cut out the middle man and send them in to those guys. |

I wouldn't say the best, but they are a great value, they did my Challenger bumpers and will do my Chargers as well when I get around to it. Not show quality by any means but very good for the price. |

I know a place in CA called "the bumper shop"... They straightened and re-chromed mine and they look great imo. Granted I don't know what a "show quality" bumper holds over another...   |

I wouldn't say the best, but they are a great value, they did my Challenger bumpers and will do my Chargers as well when I get around to it. Not show quality by any means but very good for the price. I guess I should have qualified that by saying that the job they do, cost for the chrome, lasting quality and straightening are the best for the money. The job they do is as nice/better as they originally came from the factory. Now if you want show chrome, you know the kind of chrome that looks like it is dripping from the part, Pauls Chrome is the best guy I have found. They did some chrome for us on a historic race car resto and their work was stunning! |
