    Does it look oem and cover all chrome? I was thinking about getting the ones that are ready to paint and get them color matched

    Would it not have been easier/cheaper just to have them Line-X'd?

    it looks pretty good man and OEM. it does cover all the chrome, you would really need to look at it from the side end of the bumper to really see its just a cover. @Aliyota

    the cover was just about $150, and the installation didn't take no more than 20-30 min. pretty easy, as long as you align the edges. literally plug and play basically. @Salty_Dog

    At least here, I think this is the cheaper route over a bedliner. I'm having my Avid bumper guards Bullet Lined and they require an epoxy primer before the final bedliner coating. $165 each (I have 2 being done)....

    @TACOMA2NDGEN Did you end up buying these? Wondering how well they would fit over a slightly bent bumper...

    Just got it installed. Quality on a scale 1-10 id give it an 8 . Super easy to put on . Not sure how it will hold up to scratches. Not sure if i like it yet 746BD8F3-3314-4CAF-9455-5106582DD365.jpg I have to get use to seeing the truck with a black bumper.

    That looks awesome ! Exactly the look I was going for . Did they have you remove the 2 10mm bolts on the underside of the bumper ON the OUT BORD (corners ) and install after install ?

    prepped well, installed on a warm day, and pressed against tape areas to secure.... never had a issue.
