I third it, especially if it's completely straight. If not, I know there's a place in Nashville that restores bumpers.

I hope your re-chroming prices are better than out here in Northern California. They want $750 to replate my bumper and that doesn't include any needed repairs!

The place that I saw in Nashville charges $400, I believe, to straighten/remove dents, clean, and electroplate.
