Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Post a pic of it. I have a process that may work that you can do. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 You live in Compton and there are tons of places were you can take it to go fix. But it will cost the same for a new non oem one... Quote Link to comment
nis720 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Post a pic of it. I have a process that may work that you can do. This is the only pic I have right now. The center part needs to come out and arc. Right now the center sits under the grille. You live in Compton and there are tons of places were you can take it to go fix. But it will cost the same for a new non oem one... Is there one you recomend? The bumper I have is OEM (I bought it new, but had a minor fender bender a while back). I really don't care about the chrome since I will be paiting it after I alter it..... need room for the intercooler:D Quote Link to comment

stilltwisted Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 in pomona socal ,, a place called [superior chrome] below holt , off resivore,,, they straiten and rechrome Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) I personally never have taken my bumpers to get re-chromed since buying a new one will cost less if you have connections. The only place I have seen chrome being worked on will be: Chrome nickle plating @ 2800 E Martin Luther King Jr Lynwood, CA 90262. I have seen them work on old Chevy parts. So I guess they might be good? Btw: My connections for new parts has been terminated. If you really need some new parts. Befriend a body shop guy. I have an address where you can get new parts off Bandiny from the 710. But you need to have some sort of license to buy parts of them... Edited May 29, 2009 by Motavated Quote Link to comment
stilltwisted Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 sometimes you can lie to those body shop supply places ,, and tell them that you are in a night school at a college ,, and get stuff and get a discount too Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 You're in Compton, so try Faith Plating [don't have access to a phone book right now or I'd give you the address and phone number]. I have used their services and they are very good. They have dies for almost all bumpers so the repairs are perfect. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 If you have access to a press you can put a small 2x4 where the damage is then press down on the wood. It should help get the shape back a bit. Ive even seen guys use a lead hammer [same ones used to attach knock offs on wire wheels] & hit it from behind. Quote Link to comment
