I think Brian said "no" to the chrome.

Maybe a rubber bumper was ruined and chromed locally? who can tell.

No, the eyebrow was not available on a chrome bumper.

Sounds like maybe you have a rubber bumper that was stripped of the rubberized paint, then rechromed. The rubber coating can be resprayed onto the bumper. The expensive part is getting the eyebrow. Which is reproduced. Or it might look trick with a chrome bumper with a color coated eyebrow on top of it. It'll have people scratching their heads. Tell them with a straight face that it came that way just to see people's reactions. Life's short, have some fun! :beer:
