That's a good deal. I paid in the 700's to get my rear bumpers, the front bumper and the bumper guards triple-plated!

I think that's about ballpark for triple plating. I was quoted $250 per bumper for the rear and $300 for the front.

Paul. Have a friend, Jon Wright, Custom Chrome Plating, Grafton, Ohio. The deciding factor in the cost is how much time the person working on that particular piece spends on it. Show quality chrome he spends ALOT of time. Working with platers I would want to see some previous work, or do a small piece to start with. I've had Jon do my parts for 30 years. Always great. You get what you pay for. JCL :D :yesnod: :D :yesnod: "Sidepipes are the way"
