Re: LMC Chrome Bumpers

Most of the new chrome bumpers are a fair duplication with minor flaws. I have had to do some grinding on a couple that I have bought for the carraige bolts to go through the holes. The metal is thinner than OE and the plating is normally sub-standard and they will rust front and back if not waxed occasionally. Most of these I mention are "made over seas"

There are also some that are reproduced now that are made or chromed in the USA and are a much better quality....however they are about $400.

You can also chrome your straight core for the bargain price of $700-$1000
