    They are not bad at all to replace. Getting the clips back on is tricky but some people leave them off.

    The side mirrors are plastic. The bumper end caps are definitely metal

    That new bumper does NOT look cheap.

    Very nice.

    I am hoping to take care of my issue in the $100-$150 range!

    It was not cheap, but cheaper than making an insurance claim.

    Ask about our BumperShellz
    Little late to the party, but I figured I throw this in there. We make covers that install over the OE chrome. Super easy solution to get rid of the chrome and you don't have to destroy your original bumper. We have a variety of colors to choose from. The ones below are Super White. Check out this thread for some more info and images: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-tacoma-bumper-covers-color-suggestions.559617/page-23#post-19244340
    Price range is $99 to $170 depending on color and finish.
