to chrome or not to chrome?
should i go for a chrome front bumper or a color keyed bumper(thats bonded on to the mounts, no bolts showing) keep in mind i have an "r"model front valence im probably gonna end up doing the stripes over the entire car also this would include the bumper?

I voted for fiberglass, because I would like to see one blended into the valance, and I think you've got the skills to do that. I haven't seen anyone do that yet, and I think it would be a real head turner.

I painted my monte carlo bar with "bright zinc-it". I use it all the time at work. The zinc-it is actually a rust inhibitor/protector. I like it because it looks like a matte chrome.
