Checked my receipts for chrome and the front ($300), rear ($150), rear sides
($150). A couple of small dents in the rear and front. I'd get them rechromed,
at least you know they will fit and depending on who does the chroming the
quality could or should be better than new repro ones.

They expect secured payment, IE no credit cards or checks! very nice work,
but expect to wait a while for return of parts. I took the parts to then when
I stripped the car down so they would have no excuses. Of course that was two
years ago in August, but I'm not in a hurry. I'll just need to give them a
months notice when I need the parts. Given, this won't work for everyone, but
it's close and has a lifetime guaruntee.

IMHO, get those bad boys re-chromed. I made the bad mistake of ordering
new front and rear bumpers from both Vicky Brit and Moss . . . junk!!! I
sent them back and re-chromed my originals in East Hartford, CT.
Beautiful work and BETTER than new. Expect to pay between $800 and $900
for both front and rear. My wife is still reminding how they cost but I
keep telling her that it's only three car payments worth. Yes, it's a
daily driver! I have no idea where in ME. you'd find a quality vintage
car chrome shop.
