Hi all,
I have a recommendation from North Star Plating to swap the parking light holes from my original GS front bumper to a core from a 65 Special. Long story short, sent my bumper to have bumper straightened and a large crack repaired plus rechrome, it had been bent with the crack since I've owned it and I was finally getting it fixed. 5 months later I got my bumper back but in the wrong shape, too narrow at wings to fit and a misaligned bracket, as well as cracks in the chrome along inner edge of corners. Patrick at NS wants to make good but recommends the hole swap vs. continuing repairs on my bumper as it would be it's third time through re-chroming and it would be getting pretty thin, and a proper GS core is as common as a unicorn. He swears by his fabricator and all I've read from posts on this forum attest to the quality of their work, but my initial experience leaves me less confident. Any thoughts, recommendations or warnings would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Elvin
