Bumpers from Vietnam
Has anyone ordered them? Any feedback on how they are in terms of looks and how they hold up?

Re: Bumpers from Vietnam
I was the original one to send them bumpers to reproduce. I have had mine for years now and they still look brand new. A little buffing brings back the shine and being stainless they will not rust. I have not heard of any major complaints regarding them other than the price. I am not aware of any fitment issues. By the time you get bumpers straightened and re-chromed you are not far off from what you will pay for the stainless. Money well spent in my humble opinion.

Re: Bumpers from Vietnam
I've been tempted but the ones I see on fleabay now are plated T304. I am concerned about the plating longevity tho. I'm sure they look nice initially but if the plating starts to peel after a few years, what do you do?
Would rather have polished stainless. Are those still available?
