Their chrome seems to scratch easier from my experience. All chrome scratches easier than people think. But their's is so perfect to begin with that any wear is obvious.

I hate to even wipe/wash it. I know the factory chrome didn`t scratch like that but the chrome wasn`t as nice as Tri City for sure. BTW, when did they switch over from only doing bumpers?

Damn,
When I was at Carlisle a few years ago they only said they did bumpers. I guess I'll have to start sending them the smaller pieces now. Thanks for posting this info !

i know someone who got bumper guards chromed by tri city and they were not too happy. they are now at pauls.. Paul’s does excellent work, and you will pay for it. The front bumper for my 60 Pontiac was $1650 three years ago. Great work If you are building a competitive show car. Honestly, Paul’s does beautiful work. But, I had rear bumper with guards done for same car at Tri-City, $925. And it’s really nice. I have got at least six bumpers from Chuck at Tri-City in last few years, All were really great quality finish. No issues! Very happy with them.
