The bolts are regular steel with a stainless cap over the head. You can buy replacements at the chrome shop or ebay. Brackets should be matte black.
I've been looking for a decent platter myself. Fred said Tri City is good buy I've never made the call. I know Advance in Nashville asked me $800. each to do mine. I'm looking for a business that I can talk face to face with. I don't want to do mail order.

the brackets would be painted, and the bolts are cheap at most suppliers also look at stainless steel at lowes or homie depo

I think Fred Carello uses Tri City plating in Tennessee. I hear they are reasonable. Correct me if I'm wrong Fred. I know the place here in Cincinnati is up to $450 now. It's getting ridiculous.

So i have the front and rear bumpers for my econo but don't know what i should do about chroming them. Have called some places around me (cleveland ohio) and have got some prices. starting from $450-850 to chrome one bumper, damn. I want it done right, but that 850 sounds a bit high. Ideas? Also what about the bumper brackets? Are they usually painted with the chrome bumpers or chromed as well? and the bumper bolts chromed?
Thanks
Thanks
