I had Tri-City plating do the rear bumper on my 64 GTO. It was very rough but they straightened it, took out all the bumps and bruises, put a beautiful chrome finish on it and it looked great.
I did however, find a small crack in the chrome a couple of day after I installed it. I do recall my helper and I had to lift and twist it a little bit to get it aligned the way we wanted during the install, but i dont think we were anywhere near strong enough to cause this crack.
I sent pictures to Chip at Tri-City and he thought it was likely shipping damage of some sort. I didn’t see it when i inspected it out of the packaging and I’m prettty sure i would have saw it given the size of it.
We didn’t come to an agreement on who was responsible for it and I really wasn’t in the mood to eat shipping and send it back so we could debate it, so I just decided to live with it. 2nd pic shows crack and chrome splitting (super enlarged, not as visible in real life)
It was $650 in 2017
