I used Paul's chrome in PA, show quality and fast turn around, not cheap but good.

Default Re-chromer across country

Check these guys:

Dave Treminio
Thunderboyclub
20651 Golden Springs Dr.
Walnut, CA 91789
909 896-0422

I know these guys are across country and there are probably guys closer. If you do a search there are others that have used them. I came across them last year when I checked with the plater most around here use and found he was about 3-4 months out. David had my bumpers back AND IN SHOW QUALITY SHAPE in under three weeks from when they left my front door. His workers have 25 years experience. David and his father are in business together.

If you go back to posts on December 9 you will find a thread about re-chrome started by tentuna. Tell them Shooter from Illinois sent you. I think if you use them you'll be satisfied. If you want I can send you some pictures.
