I posted a few weeks back about rechroming the bumpers on my 73 TR6 this
winter and thank everyone for the responses. I've spoken to a number of shops
now, both local and distant so I've gotten some prices.
I also was planning to have the luggage rack on the trunk done at the same
time as the bumpers but I'm very suprised at the cost for dong a rack. Having
had it explained to me I understand now why its so expensive (lots of work by
hand) but I have to wonder if I wouldn't just be better off buying a new one
from TRF or Moss. A new one from TRF or Moss would actually be cheaper than
rechroming by original rack but I have to wonder if the quality would be the
same. I certainly don't want to buy a new one and then kick myself in a few
years because I cut a corner I shouldn't have.
Any opinions?
Phil
