Subject: Re: TR4/4A/250 rear bumpers
Someone from the newsgroup had referred me to Bumper Boys... after they
had a TR 6 bumper shipped to them for work... and they had been very
satisfied. I then personally visited Bumper Boys... and talked with
the owner... I got a quick tour... and had the opportunity to look at
some of their work. I was impressed. They take pride in the work.
They're quite familiar with the TR 4/4A/250 rear bumper... and are set
up to do it. (If you know about chroming... you'll know this is
important.)
While I have not had a bumper done by them yet.... I would and have
been, referring them to friends and family.
