Wayne,
Do you happen to remember the name of the shop and possible a contact? If I
could get both of them done for a decent price, it would be worth shipping
them somewhere.

Rich,
The price you got for chroming does seem high to me. Three years back I had
two pieces chrome for my Nissan show truck and the total job for the
chroming came to $325, thats both pieces. I would shop around for other
chroming places after receiving that price. That price is total outrageous,
unless the state of Va. has some pretty hefty taxes for the chemicals the
plating company uses. Also if you plan on buying aftermarket chromed
bumpers, my advice is don't I've gone this route and I got jacked. The best
way to go is to order a non-chromed bumper from the dealer and get it done
by someone who will triple plate it. That is the only way to get the
chroming to be show quality. Or you could just by another chrome bumper from
the factory, but the shine won't be like that of the other way. What ever
you do, good luck. Oh how I miss the cruises and show circuit.
