    Thanx....Dave

    OK, so I just got mine replated, at a cost of $195 each, I'm sure thats not the cheapest, but its the only place here in CS. Wish the early mustang bumpers fit, they are really cheap at the on line mustang stores.

    Do you want it:

    1. Cheap
    2. Good
    3. Quick

    You can only pick two.

    :D

    Seriously though......getting the best price might get you very poor quality.

    I paid 375 each for a great job. It took 6 weeks but worth the wait. Plus they were local to me.

    Ive started to find manufacturing of the front and rear bumpers and the rear louvers and both will possibley get done .The bumpers could have been build by now ,but i could not get any American to donate a straight front and rear to my source when i asked three months ago on a thread here on this forum.I just spoke with him (Cid Martin )5 min ago and he says his manufacturer is sure he can make them ,i just have to wait till my race season is over in three weeks and i will pull the front and back bumper of my race car and ship them from Canada to California and they will be built . As most have see on this forum i may be a big talker ,a little arrogant but i alway finish what i start and i always get it done . So thoughs who say they wont be made are wrong ,its all just a matter of time and how much money.
