LMC Chrome Bumpers
Anyone buy chrome bumpers from LMC? How are they, fit, finish, and quality? How long have you had them and are they holding up?
Thanks

Re: LMC Chrome Bumpers
I think you will find that most board members frequent A site vendor rather than LMC.

Re: LMC Chrome Bumpers
Most of the new chrome bumpers are a fair duplication with minor flaws. I have had to do some grinding on a couple that I have bought for the carraige bolts to go through the holes. The metal is thinner than OE and the plating is normally sub-standard and they will rust front and back if not waxed occasionally. Most of these I mention are "made over seas"
There are also some that are reproduced now that are made or chromed in the USA and are a much better quality....however they are about $400. You can also chrome your straight core for the bargain price of $700-$1000

Re: LMC Chrome Bumpers
I remember reading someone recommended painting the back side of these repo chrome bumper to help keep them from rusting so quickly, anyone agree with that?

Re: LMC Chrome Bumpers
I think almost all the vendors get their bumpers from Counterpart so IMHO just chose the cheapest.
I've bought 3 or 4 bumpers from LMC with no problems. They're the premium ones. Like LUV2XCLR8 said, I agree the premiums are worth the little extra.
