From what I have read, around here and Moparts. I would think Tri-City would be about the best option.

I see Paul's chrome advertised a lot. He's not all that far from you I believe.

I don't think your are talking about bumpers but if you need bumpers done use North Star Plating in Brainerd Mn. I had my Cuda bumpers done by them and they look great. Show chrome that is almost mirror like. The numbers I have for them are

Pauls is one of the best but I have heard good things about Tri-city and I think they are less $$.

I don't know how long you have had them Scott, but maybe the "life" factor has something to do with it all, how they will look a few years later? I have never had anything done by Tri-city but have only heard good comments about their work and turn around time. I understand also that if you send them an item they will take it to a show that you will be attending thus saving return shipping cost and possible damage from carrier shipment.

Jim,
I had the front done last year, had the bumperettes spot on the bumper. We will see how long it will last.

I talked to the Tri-City guy at the Nat's this year.  He said bumpers were $365 each and the 73-74 bumper guards were $60 each.  I've heard good things about Tri-City.

I talked to Tri Cities yesterday and they said that Challenger bumpers are $410 out-right or $325 exchange (that price is each). They do have them in stock ready to ship. They triple plate the bumpers and they are show quality. They also provide a lifetime warranty on the bumpers for the original purchaser as long as they are taken care of properly and the purchaser retains the original paperwork.
