    I got bored today, so I decided to take the plunge on a mod I had been putting off. I hated the chrome bumper on my Tundra, so I sanded the shit out of it with some 80 grain sandpaper, put a couple coats of self etching primer, sanded it some more, and slapped on 4 coats of Herculiner bedlining. What do ya think??

    NICE JOB!! That looks way better than the Chrome one. I did mine last year on the rear bumper but I used the Rustoleum textured Black paint. Since its on the rear it seems to be holding up quite well. No chips so far.

    Looks way better. It would look even better if the other black plastic on the bumper was the same shade.

    Well, the reviews on the lugs have been mixed to about half for/half against. Not sure how I feel yet.
