    Dented my front bumper last summer, after I popped the dent out my flare looked janky a busted tab left it a little floppy. I scored some after market flares on market place for $75 bucks. Finally installed them. The faux chrome bolt look awful but I did use one of the bolt holes to pop in a fender fastner to correct the problems caused by the dent. The fastner looks pretty decent so I have ordered a bunch of shorter ones off Amazon and will swap out the chrome as soon as they get here tommorow. While I would have stayed stock if it was not so expensive, I figure these look decent enough and they were cheap enough if mother nature decides to peel them off next time I am in the woods I won't cry.IMG_20200203_112248570.jpg IMG_20200203_112300679.jpg IMG_20200203_112306782.jpg

    Looks good with the black hardware, Just get some spray paint and touch up the damage and live happily ever after.

    I tried to convince my significant other that o needed a new bumper because the paint was scratched.

    I like them. Good solution to the dent. At reduced cost they are now your “first touch” element. I bet in a week or two you will love them, and then in a month think other tacos look naked.
