It cost me $2200 to chrome the rear bumper on my 64 Riviera. It's a pretty elaborate bumper but still. Hope they did a great job.

They came highly recommended by a restoration guy in Tucson, so trusting I will be impressed.

I'll post some pictures once they arrive.

Got the bumpers but my bumper bolts were too ugly to use.
Ordered new bolt kits so they should be hear in a week or so.

Couldn't wait, so I test fitted the front bumper. Only has a couple of bolts in it so not in perfect position. The bumpers are much more shiny then they appear in this picture.

Bumper bolt kit arrived today so I was able to get the front bumper mounted.
Measured side to side and top to bottom in key places with all the measurements being within 1/16" proved they did a great job straightening this bumper.
