Just called Tri City, and it is $300 plus whatever the shipping works out to be.

Will post pics when I get it back.

I have become so leary of anything repop. As you know my car has almost no repop stuff. I have aftermarket front seat covers (but I have a VERY NICE set of used ones that will eventually go on) an aftermarket headliner, one lense in the dash, stainless brake and fuel lines, spectre tank, some weather strip (and I hate it) and that is about it. Yeah, I do have some bolt ons, but nothing that can't be reversed.

Apparently there are three sources of rear bumpers, Goodmark, AMD and some really cheap overseas crap that most of the vendors sell as &quot;good quality&quot;. Normally, AMD stuff isn't bad, but I found one guy whose AMD bumper was reportedly longer on one side than the other.

Looks like a good quality repop will be around $180 - 190 shipped.

I am fine spending about double that to have my original rechromed.</div></div>

Main thing with these cars is feeling comfortable in what we do. $300.00 is not bad compared to 6-800. Did you call Librandi's?

I've heard enough good about tri city. Have not received on negative comment. At that price, I don't think I am going to shop around. Seems fair. I'm OK with it. Was actually less than I expected.

I had a friend that had bumpers rechromed on a 56 Chevy by Bumper Boys. The car was kept inside for a couple years and the chromed was peeling HEAVILY before the car was even exposed to the weather.

It's amazing the Bumper Boyz are still in business. I can remember reading bad things about them in the mid 90's or earlier on some of the Pontiac websites I was a member of in the 80's and 90's.

I have never heard anything good about repops. I used Tri-City, with good results. The company I worked for, had a plant near there, so it was easy for me to stick the bumper in the car when I went to the plant. They would have exchanged my core on the spot, for an already redone one, but I wanted to keep the original one from my car. They charged me $20 extra to keep track of it. In fact, they ground my initials in the back side, while I was there.

Their prices have remained the same since I last sent them a bumper in 2006.

I use Paul Chroming. Not cheap but the craftsmanship is incredible!
