    Looks great! I am thinking about just leaving them black if I go to replace them. Are the black ones just plastic?

    How hard was the install for you overall? I have taken a look at a few DIY's and it didn't seem to hard to do.

    Are they just black abs plastic? Pondering if an all black bumper would be too much on an Inferno offroad.

    If you want them black, what's the issue with just derping them? That's what I plan on doing to mine soon. If nothing else, its a good way to figure out if you like the looks of them or not.

    The all white looks good OP :thumbsup:

    Yes they are plastic:) Pretty simple. The only difficult part was reattaching the metal clip.

    I have no idea why Toyota puts a chrome bumper on a modern truck. Chrome is for classic cars and old trucks.

    I replaced my chrome with black and put the clip in without removing anything but the end caps. You have to hold the clip with 2 fingers and kind of squeeze it down in there. It doesn't seem to do much, but ocd would have driven me nuts.

    I would have to agree with this, if you're going to have chrome, at least they should’ve been steel bumpers beneath! I get the whole off-road scratch thing but if that was the argument then the whole vehicle should’ve been chrome lol! Cmon toyota!
