71ZZZZZ Posted January 27, 2006 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2006 Hey Z-people...I'm looking for a good shop in the 818/310/213/626 area code (I know it's a wide spread) to straighten and re-powdercoat my bumpers, door handles, and wiper arms...the first job done in the mid 80s has held up but time/smog has taken its toll...reasonable prices but quality workmanship foremost...thx...

e_racer1999 Posted January 27, 2006 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2006 why not just get fiberglass or carbon bumpers? for the fiberglass one's it may be cheaper and def. lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cremmenga Posted January 27, 2006 Share #3 Posted January 27, 2006 why not just get fiberglass or carbon bumpers? for the fiberglass one's it may be cheaper and def. lighter.and how do those carbon fiber ones look?? I've been wanting to sell my chrome one and get a carbon fiber, or maybe somehow clean it up and not even have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71ZZZZZ Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted January 27, 2006 why not just get fiberglass or carbon bumpers? for the fiberglass one's it may be cheaper and def. lighter.Thanks for the thought but this will be a daily driver so I need whatever minimal protection the metal bumpers can provide...I took the risers and "nerf" bars off years ago, so they're pretty lean already...:beard: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Laury Posted January 27, 2006 Share #8 Posted January 27, 2006 Hey Neighbor! If you decide on Chrome instead of Powder Coat, I have a shop recomendation! Can't wait to see the car.

Arne Posted January 28, 2006 Share #12 Posted January 28, 2006 If I pull my chrome front bumper off, is there anyone interested in buying it??I need one for my car, but there's a whole pile of stuff I need worse, so I wouldn't buy it now. But decent bumpers always sell on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
