First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List .........................................................................
I just took my bumpers and convertible windshield headers down to a chrome plater in Ft. Worth to get a price comparison between that and reproductions. I was thinking if it was anywhere close I would of course stick with the originals. They quoted me $700 for the bumpers (the rear needs a little straightening) and $150 for the headers. A quick check of the catalogs confirmed that this is WAY more than repo's. Are they nuts, or am I? Is it worth shopping around at today's fuel prices, or should I just settle for repo's?

Jim, I had my Hurst shifter rebuilt by Hurst (took several weeks, but was done by the factory, so to speak). An option was to have the stick replated, and I think it was something like $75 about 8 years ago. Dan Chrome Plating From: "Elizabeth Sharp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 14:16:33 -0700 (PDT) I'm sure this has been covered before, but has anyone had any experience getting Hurst shifter sticks rechromed? I'm thinking of using Paul's Chrome. Approximate pricing is $125 to do the stick and approximately $150 to buff and re-etch the Hurst outline lettering. Anyone had experience with Paul's or are there other services that are better or cheaper? Thanks!
