Cuda Don what does he charge a bumper? $400 a bumper? More? I have been talking to dan about doing mine. he was very up front on the finish being a paint process not a chrome process and will show any bad spots just like a bad paint job. so it seems it all depends on the quality of the bumper. the more body work equals more money. mine are body worked and pit free. quote was six hundred with shipping. I would like too see more pictures of cuda dons done by him. I will get more pics, but please be patient. I am working a lot of hours right now. Don

This is only my opinion but I think all this money and time for custom bumpers is only worth it for cars with huge heavy bumpers. Several body styles don't have huge bumpers and chrome steel just looks so nice.
One thing that bothers me is when a car is idling or maybe pulling to the starting line and the front glass bumper is vibrating real bad. I'm betting the chrome steel bumpers don't slow the car down, but I only deal with 9 or 10 second cars, nothing serious.
Again, only my opinion.
