This option REQUIRES sending your core in advance.
Here are the advantages of pre-sending your core:
- We can core match your bumper. Bumpers that are re-chromed using a superior quality core are always reserved for core matching. If your core is average or below average, you may be able to pay to upgrade to a re-chromed bumper that started the re-chroming process as a superior quality core.
- You can find out the quality of your core before paying a core charge and avoid unnecessary core charges. Discounted core charges may apply for below average cores if sent in advance.
FYI: We do not plate, paint, or prep the backside of these bumpers as they were not done that way from the factory.
(Above are examples of the mirror-like shine you can expect. 1969 front bumper shown out in the sun.)
These are very sought after and a rare find without the impact strip holes, therefore we cannot guarantee we will have a core available for purchase.
These bumpers are re-chromed using the triple plating process. This produces a significantly higher quality finished product because they have a layer of copper, nickel and chrome. It is well worth the hassle and expense by paying a little extra now rather than changing out your bumpers out again in one to five years because the chrome is beginning to deteriorate. For years now, many of the nations top honor Cougar's have worn our bumpers.
These have a two year warranty, double that of most of the competition.
These are un-restored on the back, and after 40+ years, they will all have some degree of surface rust. For those that want to go the extra mile, you can sand the back of the bumper, mask off the front, and coat or spray it with paint or an argent product. You will not cause your bumper harm or void your warranty if you do not do this.
Also, if you are having difficulty aligning your bumpers, you really need to check out this really cool tool! We have one for loan if you are in the area It only takes seconds and is very easy to use.
