sounds like they are hit and miss with quality, and spot-on with the poor customer service.

best bet is to see the itme before purchasing i guess....but then that's how i am with everything anyways.

I can say that the quality can't be any better on mine....I know the quality of chrome on repro mirrors compared to original, so i'd take my chances on getting an original bumper re-done compared to gambling with a repro.

For those wondering you can also reach Tri-City Plating at www.tricityplating.com or 800-251-7536
218 E. Mill St, Elizabethton, TN., 37643.

Had them do my front and rear 57 Chev bumpers and last fall they did front and rear 61 Catalina for me. They do a nice job and turn around is reasonable but don't expect show quality metal finishing and plating. Their prices/workmanship are in line for nice driver cars but not top show cars. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm happy caused I didn't want to spend $5K for show chrome. Also, they're happy to plate your cores and return your own bumpers back.........just mark them on the back side

About 5 years ago, I had them do pair of 69 gto tail light bezels. I took them to Carlisle and showed them to Carlos who seems to be running the operation. They were pitted as they all are, not terrible but pitted. He told me they could make them look like new. What a joke- they buffed one a little bit and then plated them with all the pits in place. I called and someone told me that was as good as they could do, and if I could send them a pair with no pits they would plate them for no charge. No refund and I have never found a pair with no pits just out the money. Never again for me. Good Luck with that company.
