My 68 bumpers were replated for $222 each and both needed minor straightening and nicks etc taken care of. I haven't got the front back on yet, but rear fits great and both look awesome. This is in Austin. I tried a repro rear and it didn't fit well. So redid the one that was on the car because we knew it fit well.
