Faxed the a copy of BBB complaint, then started contacting all of the events on their show schedule.
Got my bumper back.
It has a weird kind of blackish tint to it, there's a dent in it that will be covered by the lisence plate, but still... and am having a bitch of a time getting it lined up. Get one side right and it forces the other side out of wack, low and away. It's never going back there either way. I am done!!

The blackish tint is because they are using a different chrome. There are 2 types:

1st is Tri-valent chrome (what you have) This is a very dark almost black looking chrome. Made for indoor use and is not blue ish. Very low EPA standards.

2nd is Hex-a-valent chrome what automotive industry used in the day. This is very bright and has a blue ish tint. Often referred to as "decorative " chrome. This type of chrome is very hazardous to the environment therefore the EPA is very restrictive!! Not to mention expensive. Any hex chrome plating tank large enough to do a bumper need ventilation hood called a scrubber. This is to clean & reclaim fumes before entering the atmosphere. Cost of up to 250,000.00.

That is why your bumper looks dark. It is less expensive to operate. And when you do such ****ty work as they do, you need to keep costs down I guess.
How much were your bezels to do? If you dont mind my asking.

Also It is not Jacks fault enterily he is just a dumbasssalesman.!!!!!!!
When you give him parts at shows or swaps he probaly says under his breath "good luck getting that back".
