| Looking for a top quality company for bumper restoration. East Coast if possible but quality is far more important than location. |

If you're looking to repair/plate 1953-57 bumpers, save some time & money by purchasing quality bumpers from Wolfsburg West. They have complete assemblies (both Euro & US styles) already triple Chrome plated, heavy gauge steel and perfect fit/shape.

| Older than that and this resto is full NOS or restore so I am trying to stay away from aftermarket items. |

Try Paul's Chrome Plating. They are out near Pitt. Pa. Show quality but you'll pay. Used them for a couple items on my '55 bug. Nice people.
They have a web site. |

Librandis (Car Chrome) near Hershey PA. You picked the wrong time of year to do this. You a are gonna be several months to get them done and depending on the style of bumper, expect to pay $500 and up each.
I just use Wolfsburg West bumpers. You can have them in a few days, chrome quality is great, but the metal is not as heavy as OEM.
