    Hey everyone! Just FYI, I have a pair of chrome OR bumpershellz if anyone would like to trade. I will need a pair with the sensor holes and preferably quicksand colored. Let me know or PM me if you are interested!

    Bumpershellz is a brand name and they make shells to cover the chrome.

    What you mean is that you have the chrome factory caps, correct?

    I like the bumpershells, the TPO black is the perfect texture and shade for the black step portion of the bumper.

    I left the tape backing on unless I ever decide to sell and the new owner wants to reverse back to chrome. The shells will pop right off and then back to the original look.

    Lol sorry, I thought that’s what you guys called the rear pumper end caps. Yes, I’m trying to help my friend who had an accident with a deer and he is needing a set with the sensors.

    Do you have the OEM part number for the black ones without sensor holes??
    My TRD PRO is black, and mine are colour matched but I want black matte like the fender Flares/rest of the bumper.
    Thank you kindly.

    I went with the Bumpershellz because I am lazy and have tons of disposable income.

    I’ve been looking at the TPO Bumpershellz but want to find them on sale somewhere…the cheapest I could find currently is at Cali Raised LED for $138.XX shipped. Anyone find them for a better shipped price??

    There's cheap and there's cheapest.
    Cheap isn't always cheapest.
    J6st ordered the OEM unpainted, they come in black just like the fender flares on the PRO/OffRoad.
    $300 CAD(about $220 USD.
    Buy once cry once, I found them in the US for as low as $79/each but with shipping and Customs it'll cost the same.
    Flack bumpershellz, I read the reviews online, and not thrilled about them.
    Plus, 2 sided tape to hold them is asking for trouble, although I would've used polyurethane if I bought them.
    I'll have my OEM ones for sale, if someone wants them they're painted black, color code 202 Toyota.

    I sanded down my chrome caps and bought color matched spray paint from Automotive Touch Up.
