Good day, and fine work on your efforts out there. Does anyone know a source of a good new or used front bumper fender plastic chrome for my driver's side? I ding'd it up and that peeled the fake chrome back off the plastic underneath. I have attached a photo of the fender and bumper, showing the damaged piece. The fender piece is fine, but need to locate the piece for the side of the bumper.

i think OPGI ( original parts group) offers a free catolog of repop parts for 5th gens, as well as alot of other gray market vehicles, and they have very competitive pricing. that would be my first stop. next would be local salvage yards, it never hurts to call, lol.
good luck

thanks much, everyone. I'll check that out. My alternative is peeling off the stick-on "chrome" plastic tape and finding a really good adhesive to put on some thicker-style chrome tape using a roller to smooth it down. The plastic underneath the "chrome" that peeled back is okay.
I plan to buy the trim piece for the back bumper (a 3-piece trim) from a supplier and apply a thinner chrome tape to that. For the center front bumper, will do the same, and also he side trim (rubber strip, but has a narrow chrome tape on upper side). Car had lots of that chrome tape on it new, but now it's nearly all peeled away.
