Thanks for the heads up. I haven't gotten a call from him yet. Hopefully traffic will ease up on Monday with the majority of schools on break. My shop is in Santa Clarita about 30 miles from him. Took me 2 hours each way when I dropped them off. So Cal traffic is horrible. Luckily I live in Simi Valley and go opposite traffic to and from my shop.

I spoke to Vern today and sound like the only challenge for me is making sure UPS/FedEx doesnt catapult the bumper during shipment back to me. The front (67) is more of the concern than the rear.

I picked up the bumpers from Vene's Chrome Plating. I am very happy with the quality. The chrome looks like glass. I highly recommend their work.

Just got home from picking my daughter up from school in Santa Barbara. Stopped at Verns and picked up my rear bumper on the way up there earlier today. Guess I missed seeing you by a few hours. Also had a vent window frame done. Beautiful work on both.
I'm going to drop off my remote mirror when I take my daughter back to school next month,

Those look nice. I am not sure if I should rechrome mine or leave original. Mine aren't pitted and clean up really nice, but don't have the new chrome luster to them.
