I've been pricing out getting my bumpers rechromed and found out it will cost around $300 for each bumper. I actually have 2 front and 2 rear bumpers which I was thinking of getting done. I also looked into purchasing aftermarket bumpers and I found I can actually get new ones for around $250. I'm wondering how I can get a replacement bumper for less money then rechroming mine. Is the aftermarket of lesser quality. What do you guys think is the best route to go?

you can get replacements for less because of the $1. a day labour cost.
like barry said, get your originals rechromed, nothing fits like original parts.
get yours rechromed-especially at that price ! I just sent my rear one out to the states for $600 U.S. because it was less expensive than here ! $300 !!! wow, last year when nickel was high I was hearing $1000
I sent a pair of factory BBC valave covers to Halifax with a friend of mine, to get a quote from the chromer there. ( Zenith, I think) Robin e-mailed me tonight, they wnated $450 to do a set of valve covers! Tha's how bad us poor saps out east have it...
I put new front and rear bumpers on a couple of years ago and was very happy with the quality. The chrome looks great and they fit good. I didnt have much of a choice tho...a peter-built truck rubbed into my quarter panel and bent my rear bumper and the front was really ruff and not worth saving.
They don't make 66 Beaumont aftermarket bumpers-they make 66 Chevelle repos,but Beaumonts are quite different because of the back-up light holes and the front bumper has a small hole cut for the hood release handle to pull through
Damn prices have changed since i rechromed mine 20 years ago! my 2 bumpers were less than Carls taxes!! ...i guess i shouldnt complain, my wages have gone up too...but so have my taxes!!
