grannyknot Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Futofab's 510 bumpers are on back order, does anyone else sell a chrome, black or SS bumper or even fiberglass? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
iceman510 Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 I can't help with who might have any right now, but I have at least a front I would sell. Not perfect, but probably usuable or could be straightened and rechromed. It is painted white. I would have to check for a spare rear. Quote Link to comment
grannyknot Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Thanks but have a front and a back that need re-chroming but I just can't find anyone who will still chrome bumpers. I've called 8 platers and they have all stopped taking them. I thought it would be easier to buy a new set of knockoffs but can't find them either so I guess I'll have to have the original bumpers sandblasted and then painted. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Chroming is insanely bad for the environment so too expensive for the platters. Third world countries are still able to fuck up their ecology. Plastic coat or dip. Way better. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 If you are willing to ship, I believe these guys still chrome bumpers and such. Located in Utah, so you might want to drive down to the border to ship them. Not sure how valuable rechroming is to you. http://saltlakechrome.com Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm not a chrome fan. I much prefer non chrome options, so I understand. What color is your car? sometimes gunmetal colors look better than black on all the trim. Quote Link to comment
