Midyear Bumper Question
My bumpers now are one of the weakest visual points on my car. For whatever reason, they are quite wavy. Is this common? What would cause this. They don't appear to have ever been repaired.

The waviness generally results from the metal being overworked when they are rechromed. The person rechroming them either applied too much heat when repairing rust holes and pits or didn't sand the cores evenly with the belt sander.
