Got a quote for $185 for each rear from Custom Metal Finishing in Shelby MI. Also got a quote of $150 for each rear from AC-Plating in Bakerfield CA. They also quoted $25 each for the seat brackets. Custom Metal did my Ft bumper guards, job was OK, but it took them 9 weeks. AC-Plating said 2 weeks after they get them, so I'll give them a try.

I had a bad expierence with this shop. You send them yours, they send you a rechromed of the same. Except the one they sent me was bent. Mine wasn't!
After getting stuck with the shipping charge ($25.00) to send it back...they took three weeks to send my original rechromed bumper to me. Not an excelent chrome job...but very good.
