Triumph TR6 - Replacement Bumper

Unfortunately, my 73 TR6 needs a new front bumper. Has anyone bought one from LBC and if so how was the quality/fit. Thanks
JW BRAW

Why does it need to be replaced?
DON KELLY

I hit a pot hole and the bumper got crumpled a little so I figured it had to be replaced. Maybe it can be straighten and rechromed?
JW BRAW

The previous owner of my car, his girl friend hit a deer and crumbled the front. I had it straightened and redone. The original will always be better than new material. Besides that, the new will arrive not perfect and you be up set anyway!
DON KELLY

JW,
Don's right, the original is likely better material than you're apt to find reproduced today and it can be straightened. Try Tristate Plating near Johnson City TN. They'll straighten the bumper, repair the dent and triple plate with nickel, copper, chrome with a lifetime guarantee for not too many George's! Shipping is reasonable too.

I also agree...stick with the original and have it repaired/rechromed.

Do you have a web address for them. I don't find a TRISTATE Plating in TN when I do a google search. I find ones in WV, KY but not TN. Thanks
