Re chrome or replace

[SS Shaun]

Learned from my camaro replacing never seems to line up the same as re chrome. We bought one from ground up fit perfectly for the front. Bought one from opg for the rear nothing lined up at all ended up returning it and getting one from ground up fit perfect. No clue why tho. But on the chevelle I re chromed it was just as much as getting a new one but no issues

I haven't had any fitment issues on 71'-72' cars. The current bumper on my 72' is from NPD, and the chrome on it is toast. I bought a replacement from GU, $169 IIRC. Hoping it holds up better.

Mind you, I have yet to drive my car in nearly six years of ownership. The bumper has only been on the car maybe five years. I have only had to put the car outside for five months. The rest of the time, it was in a dry garage or covered in a car port. The front bumper is from NPD, purchased at the same time. It looks better, but I now see it is rusting from the backside.

Quality rechroming will run you two to three times the cost of a reproduction bumper. But, you get what you pay for.
