Dodge Aspen and Ply Volare are the same. Anything you find will probably need re chroming Front parking lights may be different

Start doing Internet searches on chroming shops that do that kind of stuff. It may just require the shotgun approach until you find one.

I was looking for a rear bumper for my Charger for over a year, until one place tuned me onto another shop that just happened to have one already re-chromed and ready to ship.

Scotty,

1976 and 1977 Aspen front bumbers are different than all of the other years and volare's except for 1980 they are all by themselves! So, what I am telling you is that if your front bumber is nice spend the money and have it rechromed as that bumber is a two year only for Aspens not volare's! they will fit, but the turn signle is in the Bumper not in the Grill!

Hope that helps!

Mike

If you're talking $1200 for one bumper, I know the place you're talking about and fogettabotit/ If you're talking about $1200 for both that's about average, minus the core charge.

I got both of mine done for $400.00 each. Chroming has become very expensive do to the chemicals they use and how they impact the enviroment. Lots of fees and such hit the chroming business so the cost is up.
