    Now, I know this isn't an upgrade or anything, but if you're anything like me details matter a lot. I recently pulled the trailer ball off my rear bumper and I'm left with a hole in my bumper. Woohoo! Ran up to Lowes and bought a 3/4 inch sink hole plug in white. Came home and painted it black. I do have a vinyl machine available to me for use and I was thinking of putting TRD or the Toyota emblem on it and then painting over it just to give it a pop. It would be raised so that you could still see it. Now with that out there. Would anyone actually be interested in one? Or any better ideas? And please, don't bash on my ideas. I'm just sharing my thoughts.

    EDIT: With this also being said, I do also have a powder coating machine here at the house. So if anyone has any ideas for that, I'd love to hear them.

    This is the hole I am talking about.

    And as I said before, suggestions are absolutely welcome. Keep the negative comments to yourself please.

    Idea....put the sicker on the plug. Then paint the plug the color of your choice. After paint coat is dry peel the sticker off for a two tone color plug with the trd being the color of the plug/white.

    I know, I've already gone through and done this. I was wondering if anyone would want one.

    I came up with it after, but here's the plain black one I painted today.
    And I know, I started that thread.
