Listers:
Keystone out of Minneapolis (612-789-1919) will do both your original
bumpers and the 4 guards for about $1000 and discount that for dealers.
They guarantee the plating for life (they should for that price) and pretty
much all they do is bumpers. One of my original bumpers was bent and
twisted and came out flawless. I had to paint the insides for the concours
restoration however.

Jim -
Bought a taiwan bumper 20 years ago, biggest piece of crap ever but
that's the best I could do at the time. Luckily I found an unused OEM
bumper a year or so ago, only a bit of surface discoloration which
rechroming took care of.
Probably the best thing to do is find an old, un bent bumper and
rechrome it. Not sure of AH Spares bumper but hopefully it's better
than the taiwan crap!
