I used their bumpers for the 442, and they are good to very good chrome plating, with only minor prep complaints. The very edges show a lot of roughness, and only a couple minor visible surface imperfections. Obviously not show quality, but great driver quality. They have been on the car now in the elements for going on 5 years, no signs of decay.

I saw the prices, and the core, which is why I commented they are not cheap. The cores must be hard to come by, all the popular bumpers don't require cores. I also saw AMD (I think) has un-chromed cores available, which is a good thing I guess. But you may consider keeping your originals just in case.

I used a chrome shop in Richmond one year, and not only did it take a long time, but I didn't get my original back. In researching that issue (Early/mid-2000s) I found some shops not only don't return originals, but some flat steal them, telling customers they were lost in the process. Not sure that was my situation, and if it's still a problem, but I didn't get my originals back. Something to consider.
