Are the chrome bumper covers metal chrome or plastic chrome?
I have the all black bumper caps and I personally don’t understand the chrome delete mods people are doing.
I would probably trade my black bumper caps for chrome ones if I knew how to remove them.

Tacomike18, I'll send you my chromes for your blacks. There are plenty of youtube videos showing how to change them out. Shoot me your address and I'll send them, you can change them for yours then send them to me. I already changed mine out but have a bumper mounted light project I want to do and it would like to have spares in case I mess up a cut.

I went a slightly different route and sprayed my chrome ones with bedliner. Under 10 bucks and year later still looker perfect. The texture pretty much exactly matches the rest of the bumper.

I was too. But it's been a year. I live near Chicago so it's been through a winter and a touch car wash at least once a week the entire time and still looks perfect. I already had the spray so it was free to try. Worst case it forced me to just buy the factory black ones you linked if I didn't like how it turned out.
