I have a 79 spider 2000. I am wondering are the bumpers chrome or stainless steel? Does anyone know a good place to send parts to be re chromed?
Thanks

Re: Chrome
They are chromed. You'll have to check your local yellowpages for good chroming companies.

Re: Chrome
they are so darn heavy, it's expensive to ship them. Talk to a local body shop and find out a source that they use for restoring bumpers rather than a chrome shop

Re: Chrome
What really sucks is that I can buy brand new bumpers for my Nova for half as much as a crappy rechrome job for my FIAT is. I got the ones on my Nova rechromed before the new ones were available, paid extra for "show chrome". The car has only gotten wet a half dozen times in the last ten years, but the chrome is getting pitts and bubbles!

Re: Chrome
Jaime, I got a quote from a place in Miami 1100.00 for that price you can get a new set.wachuko wrote:What is the cost to re-chrome a set of early bumpers??

There are a few places in Orlando that I am trying contact. 1100 is too steep considering a new set is about a 1k
