Re: PNW chrome shops
Depends on where you are. Victoria Chrome in Victoria BC has a pretty good reputation, and will be somewhat cheaper since there will be the exchange rate to consider. I'll be sending all my chrome for my '59 Alfa project up there at some point.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

Re: PNW chrome shops
Over riders would be cheap to ship. Depending if you're after show quality or driver quality, you could ship to a distant location and save some money. I had my bumpers done about 5 years ago at a small local shop and they came out fine. The shop had an employee who did show car bumpers on the side for more than twice the price at his own bumper shop. Funny thing was, I went to the bumper shop first and he told me that unless I was needing perfect show quality I would be much better off going to Charlie's Chrome where he worked during the daytime. He said that he would be doing the bumper there anyway. I guess just not with the same amount of detail. He took a couple of dents out as well and they look like new to me. By the way, neither place was doing the triple chrome process which adds a layer of copper and also adds considerabley to the price.
Almost forgot Charlie's wanted $60 each to do the over riders. I opted not to do them, as I like the cleaner look without them.

Have you considered the stainless bumpers and overiders?

Re: PNW chrome shops
That's why I'm going with stainless. For $1000 you get 2 bumpers, 4 overriders and no rust.

Re: PNW chrome shops
If I had some decent ones I'd let you have them since I'm switching. Ted Heaton had about 40 of them, contact him and see if he still has some.
