$180 for a bumper cap? Forget that! Wood screws FTW!

    So I ripped off my rear bumper cap on a trail today. IMG_6791.jpg
    Called my local dealer for a quote..... I have no parking sensors and also asked if he could get me the black one....
    Well no. "I can only order the chrome to match your vin and that'll be $180 up front sir".
    I said thanks but no thanks and took matters into my own hands.

    I did find the black one online for $80 but then figured I'd just rip that one off too.
    A couple wood screws and some plastidip touch up and she's good as new.

    Well not perfect, but it was a fun little project.

    Vehicle:
    2017 Tacoma OR 4x4 (formerly a 1998 SR5 PU, 2002 OR 4x4, 1995 4x4 4Runner, 1985 4x4 Toy PU) ... and RIP’s (rust in pieces) to a Bronco II 4x4 & S10 Blazer 4x4
    Any idea what a 2017 used clean condition OEM bumper would sell for with a private party? Just wondering what I could get if I swapped it out for a steel bumper. I'd want to sell both my front and back before they get dinged up.
