cuda bumpers
« on: October 26, 2009 - 12:59:12 AM »
are there any new bumper manufacturers out there other than AMD(year one)?
I need front and rear for my 70, trying to save some coin and still get a nice set. The local chroming dealer wants 380 a pop to rechrome
thanks

You are better off rechroming you originals, the AMD bars are junk. I had about 60 e-body bars here and I sent them ALL back, Kestone makes a nice repo bar but they are around the same price with shipping as you will be rechroming.

Talk to tri city plating. I just asked them about 70 Challenger bumpers and they are $325 exchange a piece or a little over $400 outright (at least that was the price for challenger bumpers, couldnt imagine cuda's being much more, but you never know). They have a lifetime warranty on their bumpers and are show quality triple plated.

 :( I just sent back the bumper I ordered from Year One ( AMD) because one of the jack slots was crooked. Not by a little, like 40 degrees. It took 12 weeks to get the first one. Unfortunately I don't have one to rechrome.

You get what you pay for when you have parts chromed.  Get your origonals redone if they are in good shape.
