Actually....

I am quite impressed a company is making these items. Yes, if you figure a rechroming cost of $350 for front $80-100 for each rear, and $say 50 each bumperette, plus new rubber, it gets close to the cost, but sometimes they plate them so much thicker, and they do not fit right after plating. The only drawback I see is if they get bent up, or say a ding or too, rechroming them is more expensive and doesn't adhear as well to the stainless. It can be done, but it isn't the best idea. It is also a quick way to have a set of bumpers ready to go.
