I am actually a C3 owner but I also have a Caddilac that needs new chrome. I live 30 min from Carlisle and would like to find a vendor that would do an exchange of my Caddillac chrome. I figured if anyone knew about quality chrome the C1&C2 guys would.

I have a flier from the GM show earlier this year from Bumper Boyz and they seem realllly shady to me. As I did some investigating my initial suspitions seem to be supported with poor service and poor quality.

Do you guys know and broad based bumper platers that might be at the show next weekend? If not...Can anyone recommend a good chrome guy in the Mid Atlantic region?

Thanks..I know its a little off topic but anyone looking for chrome next week may be helped.

Librandi's in Middletown, PA. They did an excellent job rechroming front bumpers and rear deck latches for my 61. I dropped my stuff off and picked it up. Saved the hassle and cost of shipping. You're close enough to do the same. I think they go to Carlisle. Here's their website http://www.carchrome.com/beta/librandi/classic.htm

Librandi has done my 66 and recently my 72 bumpers, great job just took 16 weeks to get them, but worth the wait.

Did my 62 bumpers 7 years ago and they still look great....
As with some others, it took awhile since they had alot of work in their shop when I visited, but I took that as an indicator that they were good at what they do....
