Paint job coming. And my chrome front bumper has a crease in it and needs to be re-chromed or replaced. I'm tempted to replace due to lower cost. Any suggestions? Who makes the best new bumpers for the cost?

Maybe use restoration chrome.com or paragon for re-chroming? Ogden Chrome does an AWESOME job. (And for about $100 more than buying a new bumper with lesser quality chrome.) But I'm not prepared to rechrome front and rear in show-quality chrome right now. Is it better to go ahead and put awesome chrome in the front and leave the back as-is right now? Would that look really bad?

Next. I understand removing the front bumper is a PITA. What is the process for removing the bumper? Thanks!
