16 Tacoma bumper cap removal

Can you post a pic of just the cap then?

 

Thanks.

 

If you don't mind me asking how much did those caps cost you?

 

They were $77.85 each from Camelback Toyota(vendor on here). Part numbers are 52155-04010 and 52156-04010.

 

That looks good, but I'm cheep and lazy. I derped mine. No disassembly and $5 for a can of dip.

 

Wow, thank you! I thought they would have been more expensive than that.

 

You will probably be also surprised to find that the chrome ones are just plastic as well.

 

Really?! I never would have guessed that. On the plus side no more rusting.

 

Maybe I'm just old fashioned but why does everyone want painted vs chrome?

 

Has anyone tried the grey pasti dip on a magnetic gray metallic truck?

 

In my case I have the TRD in Quicksand. All the trim on the truck is Black. The Chrome seems out of place and the grill has way too much. Luckily I can't see it while I am driving. So spectators have to suffer with it. If I had a limited or Black or red truck it might be different for me. But a Quicksand with black trim it just feels wrong. That's why individuals own their own trucks and have their own desires and opinions. The ones that don't, ride the bus and take whats given them.

 

Good answer. I believe in "to each their own". Just interested in other's thoughts

 

In my opinion, chrome looks cheap and outdated....especially it being plastic chrome. I prefer color matched over black or chrome. The black on the off-road fender flares look like plastic Tupperware and this was one of the reasons why I went with the sport. It also all depends on the color of the truck....some colors like red and MGM look good with chrome accents and some not so much

 

Great price on the dip, I have to pay $23 plus tax here... where do you buy yours..?

 

Looks good man. I want to do mine once I get a warm day off of work. Def like the black better.

 

lowes homedepot pepboys, each place is around 6-7 bucks a can

 

That's a great price in the USA but in Lowes Canada its more then twice the price, actually 3 times the price..

 

Does Canada have access to Amazon prime? if so they sell it for 9 bucks a can

 

I started a thread about this sometime back but I don't think I got any replies. I have the chrome covers and want to order the color keyed ones (white) and switch them out.

Quote: Much better black, now black out your emblems too (thats my plan).

The black looks great... don't black out the emblems but "debadge" (IMO). Also, the diagram posted by tekoma was very helpful.
