metz6565 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 What is the difference between a new crome bumper vs. a recromed bumper.A new bumper seems simple and cheap but I'm told it's only 80 some pounds shipping. Any opinoins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have a rechromed bumper on my rear and when it came time to do my front I didn't have enough money to have it done but I had enough for one of the reproduction bumpers. I can tell you that the fit of the reproduction was absolutely perfect. The finish is not as nice as you may get from a high quality chrome shop but it is very acceptable. I still have my origional front bumper and in the future I plan to have it rechromed but I am perfectly happy with the reproduction one.

kc8oye Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'd agree rob.. the chrome on the re-pop bumpers isn't _perfecct_ but it is really nice and I wouldn't have a problem using a repop on a driver, or even a casual show car. for a concourse car I would definately reccomend the extra $$$ to have an original bumper rechromed. the repop bumpers leo gets are pretty darn close to original, give him a call he'll be glad to help you out. He may even have a nice original bumper that he can get rechromed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Had rechromed original 71 front&rear bumpers and a repop 72 front bumper. The original rechromed bumpers were show quality, the repop was very nice, but not as good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jim Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I ended up with a NOS rear Bumper I purchased on Ebay and sent my front bumper to Tri City Plating in TN. They really did a great job. I like both bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capri's 71 SS Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 In 2007 I sent my rear bumper to Tri-City (Cleveland, OH to TN) and it cost me $26.64 (insured for $500). They charged me $340 total...$300 to rechrome & $40 shipping. That should give you a rough idea since you are just 1 state away. We were VERY happy with it.

Mikstudie Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I had a couple small things done at Tri-City and was happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
