That was about 10 years ago. So chrome isn’t cheap anymore. I thought I got a reasonable deal especially when you look at what they have to do with the grille and backup light/trunk lock bits. Bumpers/overriders, accent trim, all that was easy compared to the first 2 items. My body guy sent some bits off to “his” shop and they came back kind or orangey/yellow and looked like someone had run a comb through them. I then took this and the rest to “my” chrome shop which is also sometimes used by Legendary Motorcars and RM Classics when they want to stay within the province. Both of those shops recommended this shop to me. That would be Cambridge Custom Chrome in Cambridge, Ontario. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> zmagnette-bounces@autox.team.net [mailto:zmagnette-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>wraylemke@compuserve.com<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, March 20, 2014 7:43 AM<br><b>To:</b> zmagnette@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Zmagnette] magnette bumpers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>I had my bumpers done by Jim at Knox, they came out nicely and cost around $900.
