    Getting ready to strip a rear bumper to send for re chroming.
    Is there a new/repo source for these? Or do I have to save what I got? The nuts on the back side look pretty rusty.

    I re-used mine but replaced the steel nuts with brass to stop the rust bleeding... I just swapped the front bumper for a much better less rusty driver and cleaned and painted the INSIDE to halt the rust as well. Cant even see it but rust never sleeps! ws

    Appreciate the info.
    I ended up breaking 2 studs on each side, and although the rubber isn't nicked up, its pretty sun faded.
    Kinda pricey for the repos, but I think they will look best with a shinny re-chromed bumper.
