Canada....
Long arm of the EPA doesnt reach the chemical depositories of Canada like it does the States. If you pick someone these days in the States, you will be rechroming that bumper in 3-5 years...even sooner if you drive it daily

Stay away from the Bumper Boyz.... Nothing good to say about one personal experience with them.... Wanted to return Bumper and they would not take it back. Chrome started cracking within 12 months. Never again. Tri City is your best bet. Good luck

 Tri-City. Porter is the man. I took my front bumper to them when I drove down that way for Thanksgiving 2007. Took a bunch of pics of the shop and the yard out back where they have a few thousand bumpers laying around. They shipped it back last January. This is the best time of year. Quicker turnaround. I have never heard a single good thing about BumperBoyz, many bad things, and I got a bad vibe when I talked to them at Carlisle a couple of years ago.

While the U.S. EPA laws are stringent, and some states more so than others, stating that U.S. chrome will only last 3-5 years is not even close to the truth. Some shops are performing work on par with anywhere else in the WORLD.
Is there bad U.S. chrome--sure! Is there good?--you bet!

Gateway Plating in St. Louis, MO did the rear bumper on my Duster. Nice quality job that I was very happy with for around $250 as I couldn't see any flaws in their work. Triple chrome job probably runs higher.
1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD
1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD
Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.

Thanks for all the advice, I am in contact with a few companies and will decide soon, thanks a bunch!!!
Tri-city seems to have fallen off the quality bandwagon lately as I and a few others have had questionable quality from them recently.
