TriCity Plating in Tennesse comes highly recommended. Triple Chrome, decent prices, and Mopar friendly. I believe you can either have them chrome your cores or order a set and return your cores (for credit) after the fact.

I'll most likely use them when the time comes...

I went with Tri-City Plating for the new front bumper on my son's 72 Dart Swinger and it ran me $315.00 and it would have been $50.00 less if I would have returned our original bumper to eliminate the core charge, plus $60.00 for the shipping from their location in Elizabetton TN, to my location in Phoenix AZ. They wrer very good to deal with and I am very happy with their product.

We have a very good shop here in Philadelphia, Frankford Plating.  They restored my 68' to "Show Chrome" condition and they are perfect.  Nothing but praise for their craftsman.   The bumpers were in terrible condition when I took them off, Rust, Dents, creased from a parking lot poll.  They even did the bumper guards. 

I can forward information if you wish.  As far as price, they are alittle higher than Tricity, but they specialize in show restoration so it may be worth checking out.   4 speed

Just don't EVER use "Bumper Boyz" from southern California. They do all the swap meets including Carlisle,etc. Cheap work,bad service!
