just looking the phone book under chroming and bumper repair.
unfortunately, you live in eco-nazi controlled CA. i could be wrong, but i think they outlawed chroming in CA a few years ago because of environmental concerns for the chemicals used in the process. i have heard of people have good results at the chrome shops down in TJ for a reasonable price back when i was in the air cooled VW scene.

where ever you get the work done, if you want them re-chromed, be sure to tell them you want them "triple chromed" or "show chrome". they will put the chrome on in thicker layers. it will hold up better to cleaning and the wonderful salt laden coastal air in SD

Yeah, pics are still on the computer...





The shop who did my Dodge's bumpers is long gone; I didn't really look very hard into other shops for these bumpers because I was concentrating on getting all of the parts first (euro valence, rear apron, etc.). Most of the cheaper shops that specialize in that kind of work are in Chula Vista or National City.
