I was at a Corvette show in San Diego. I noticed a few nice C-1s with beautiful chrome and I asked the group where they got their bumpers done. They all used Lemon Grove plating in National City, Ca.

Which part of town are you in? Verne's Plating in Gardena does good work and stands behind it.

They probably do the best "show chrome" in the area. About 60% of their work is Corvette. 6-8 weeks.
