that means it isnt metal finished for chrome. it has to be dam perfect for it to be chromed. some shops will fix it and make it strait tho, i think its the 1st guy that lucky said.

yeah- basically what james said. you cant chrome plate bondo. lol. so to have a bumper-combo chrome plated the metal work needs to be perfect or it will "show" under the chrome. example- if you paint a rusty ol car before doing the body work, it will look like painted rust. so, if you want a combo chrome plated then take it to someone like s-h who can prep it first it has to be filled with lead. let me know of you want a bumper combo ready for chrome. i know an ol timer (lead guru!) that can do it for you a lot cheaper than buying a grant combo then having someone prep it..... (youll have to supply the bumper/ valance)
