I recently bought a stainless steel bumper for my '37. It came polished. It almost looks like a chromed piece. Yes it was a little more expensive. My buddies, also car nuts, have seen it and they like the quality too. I considered the repops and read about all the problems with quality. I considered rechroming the old too, but at the time considered the overall cost prohibative. The ss option works for me. Since then I found a shop nearby that gave me a fair estimate (about the same as a repop) to rechrome the old bumper for use on the rear. The bumper needs a fair amount of prep work. It won't be a premier show quality job, but based on their other products I've seen, a quality job.
