Any one out there have a line on bumpers for an 81-87 Pontiac Grand Prix? I would settle for a good shop to rechrome the ones I have or even fiberglass replacements. I am near Charlotte NC. Any leads would be great!
Replacement bumpers for Grand Prix

There is a salvage yard up in Delaware that had tons of Grand Prixs, I got a pair of bumpers to eventually get rechromed for my '86 Regal there. It's an overgrown pick your part type yard. Probably too far though? There is also a complete '85 Grand Prix down the road that's been for sale for about 5 years, would be a good parts car, if I remember right the bumpers were good.
EBAY, my friend!!! I was looking for a set of front and rear bumper fillers and ended up buying 2 COMPLETE bumpers from a guy in Oregon and believe me, my bumpers are BETTER than brand new, even the CHROME vinyl trims!!! I don't remember who it was but he sells mostly bumpers as i could see!!
I just broke out the credit card and sent mine off to be rechromed. Spent $800 and they look great. Now if I could only find someone to plate my plastic grill!
I'm checking out a place now that does the cosmichrome. Around $350 to do my grill. Just in the research phase right now.
I have the solution for your grills, guys!! Do the same i'm gonna do this next spring and shoot an e-mail to SPECTRACHROME!! They sell a READY TO SHOOT PAINT that directly goes right into your airbrush or conventional paint gun!!! It's a paint but it's also METAL PARTICLES if i got it right on their website! 250$ for a quart but to me, for what i'm gonna do with it, i might order 2 quarts and i'll be good to chrome stuff for at least 2-3 years LOL...I'll use it on GP's grills, wheels and inside door trims, but after that i'll be using that paint on my modeling stuff only so...Gonna last for a while LOL!!
Just remember once you open the $250 can of paint you must use it within a couple months. I too am looking at spectra chrome and doing research. I have read a lot of post where the chrome turns yellow if exposed to direct sunlight. I just don't wanna get burnt so I'm gonna make sure it is worth the money first.
If it's metal particles, how could it turn yellow?? Now you got all my attention my friend!!! 'Cause it is currently my ONLY solution for my grill!!!
