Hi East,
I paid;
Front Bumper $175
Bumper Guards $90 each
Rear Bumpers $175 each
Librandi in Middletown Pa.
Regards,
Alan
I, too, believe it's better to have your originals re-plated. You know how they fit!

I was quoted $500. for my rear bumpers at Alberta Plating. http://www.albertaplating.com/ I also heard the repop had quality/fitment issues

I used Paul's Chrome in W.Pa. About 30 min from me. Both rear bumpers were done "Show Quality", which is all he does, for about $500. He does shipping too.

I had the rears done for $150 each at this place but it was 5 years ago. They did a nice job and had 2 week turn around from MI to CA and back.

don't forget, you have shiping back and forth, and the shop will have them for a month or more so your car will be down..
you could buy them NOS already done and sell your old ones for close to the same total expendature and get it done right away and not have to wait..
just a point of view..

I'll add again, with replacements you don't know how they'll fit since you don't know how the jig for positioning the brackets was set up before the welding was done.

I paid $1567.50 CDN for my 2 rear bumpers, front bumper and 2 bumperettes for my '69. This was in '07.
The work was done by Cambridge Custom Chrome and the quality is top notch. The one front bumperette was in rough shape with rust almost through at the mounting tab. When it came back it looked like brand new!
Very good work, great to deal with and very fast. It took them about a week and a half.

I had my '69 front bumper and 2 rear bumpers done a couple months ago for $850. Beautiful, and they fit properly.
Do not buy ebay repops from China. I had a friend who's a retailer tell me not to buy from him because they were so wavy and fit poorly.
PS- St Louis plating
