Keystone car do it all. They also have a life time guarantee on their work. I don't know where you are but they are a nationwide company. I call their number for work all the time. 1-800-622-0096.

Keystone is the only company that will touch my bumpers.

Many of us have used them and I've never heard a bad comment about them.

I believe they only do bumpers and their work is perfect!

I little more expensive then some of the other guys however worth every cent as you'll never worry about your bumper again and the chrome is as good as it gets.

I had Keystone Automotive Industries rechrome my bumpers a couple of years ago. Keystone bought out North Star Plating in Brainerd Minnesota and that is where they do all their bumpers. North Star Plating has been in business over 50 years and their process is professional. Do a Google search on them. Keystone has a retail/wholesale outlet in Kansas City near me. I first got a quote and turn around time from Keystone. Took the bumpers to them. They took them to Brainerd on their route truck (no shipping expenses for me). About two months later they were back in KC. I inspected them before paying. Was very pleased with the quality and price. I would recommend them. There is usually a Keystone outlet in most metropolitan areas. Definitely worth checking into.
