    Well, apparently the TRD Sport will be eliminated in 2013. So Someone wanting a Sport would need to get a 2012

    Did you notice the red part you highlighted ends in a period (making it a statement)? Did you notice the part that ends in a question mark asks if the bumper valence is metal? Did you notice I noted it was plastic?

    Look ma! Questions!

    Do you understand basic grammar rules?

    What are the quotes coming back from guys who need front bumper repair/replacement? In the mid-hundreds aren't they?

    not sure if this was directed at me, but since I just traded a 2010 for a 2012...I'll field it...

    1st and easy...why not?

    2nd, personally...I went from an SR5 to a TRD Sport, many more features and options. A new front end styling...that I happen to like (I also like the last gen2 front)

    and thirdly (although Im sure there's more)...Because I can. :D

    Here is some good feedback for the OP's statements and questions!!!

    I understand grammar just fine! I can read something and understand that maybe he meant to add a "?" as opposed to a period and not take it for face value. Thought this was a forum for Tacoma owners as opposed to grammar school?

    In any case, keep digging your hole.... or is it whole, not sure, maybe you can correct me on the spelling! :thumbsup:

    If he's too lazy to use the language we've all agreed upon, he gets what he deserves. If you're willing to go the extra mile, good, you bail him out. Saves me the trouble.

    None of this really changes the fact that the front bumper on the XSP-X is plastic, and that 2012s have ugly front ends.

    You got anything else, or is it just gonna be more whining?

    Nope, thats why I phrased it as "apparently". It's just a rumor. Its hard to belive that they would phase out the sport; seems to popular to eliminate

    This thread has gone all over the place, but I went to the dealer today and they had one.

    1) It is a different seperate piece that is bolted to the original bumper.
    2) It is plastic.

    It's the Super-Bro package. They know there is a market for people who want to throw their money away on fake exposed bolts and randomly placed LED's... no wonder they made it.

    Oh and ignore Jandrews, he's taken up residence as the TW troll. We all just love him. Be polite; stare and point but don't feed it.
