Auto Body Specialties has them.  I talked to them over the summer about them.  The said they were repros, and that when they received the shipment the chrome looked pretty bad, so they had them rechromed and they looked pretty good now.  Not sure if they are still using the same batch or not.  I ended up getting my originals rechromed locally, so I ended up not buying from them.

I know bumper boys sells (carlise,e-town,etc) them but I've seen a ton of poor quality out of them. my buddy bought a 70 charger bumper and it was rusted through on the inside, they welded it up and rechromed it. i dont think it will be lasting too long! I've heard very good things about Tri City plating in  Pennsylvania.

I got mine from Autobody Specialties, and they look great.  I've had them on the car for about a year and a half.

Try these guys. They have Cuda/Challenger bumpers for specific years. They were pretty reasonable when I called them. Also have the bumperettes.
