Rear Bumper Sport Edition Look

Has anyone painted their rear bumper the same color as the truck? Like the tacoma sport edition...? If ya did please post some pics!

 

mine came painted

 

I personally like the chrome bumpers! I think it looks more truck like, If that make's any sense...

 

Mine came painted as well as gill surround. That was a "must" when I was hunting for my truck. To me it just separates it from all the other trucks made by the other manufacturers as 99% have chrome bumpers which to me looks old-fashioned.

 

From 2001 - 2004 all Tacomas with the SR5 Color Keyed Package (Lunar Mist / Black Sand Pearl / Radiant Red / Impulse Red only) got color-matched rear bumpers. So did all S-Runners (Black Sand Pearl / Radiant Red).

 

colored matched bumper on the 1st gen simply looks wrong to me.. I think it's because unlike the 2nd gen, where the bumper molds and conforms to the lines of the body better, the 1st gen bumper looks like a simple and basic bumper that's just stuck on there, chrome or black looks more appropriate.

The same goes for color matched ARB bullbar bumpers..

 

i think it depends on the color. a chrome bumper on my red truck would look like crap.

 

Thats a hot looking truck!!!

 

mine is chrome and im about to paint it black....
(color of truck is red)

 

I agree, they should only be black or coated with black bedliner.

 

True.. your truck had color matched everything else. So a chrome bumper will look out of place.
