Painted bumper caps from eBay. Any experience?

Found these on eBay. Anybody had experience with them? Wonder if the paint is a quality match.

Not ebay but I got mine from Amazon and they have been great. The pictures are the same as the ones I bought so its probably the same seller.

 

That’s good enough for me!

 

It’s just mud flaps. When it hits the mud, it flaps. All are plastic. It should be just fine.

 

I bought from this same seller. Install was pretty simple. As far as the color goes, it was a near perfect match.

 

I had an issue with this seller that really bothered me ... wanted to replace both of my end caps after one was damaged by a valet. My truck had the parking sensors so I ordered the caps with pre-cast holes.

After carefully disconnecting my existing sensors and putting them into the new caps, they would not hold in place. After careful examination, I could see that holes cast were slightly larger than stock and would not hold the sensors.

I went back and forth with the seller showing pictures and asking if he would send new ones thinking that it may have just been a production issue.

Nope... seller refused to believe he was at fault, said to send the caps back at my expense for a refund and banned me from buying his items on ebay.

I ended up buying oem caps, getting them painted, and put the bumper with sensors back perfectly.

The cost of shipping back was almost a wash in original cost so I just tossed them ... never again would I patronize this seller.

Fyi ... Paint color was dead on ... cement.

I have ebay painted caps on my truck and they match perfectly

 

Good to know. I just ordered some without sensor holes so hopefully I have good luck. Good to know about the paint that was my main worry.

 

Damn I’m jealous, it must be niiiiiiiice

 

Haha jealous of what? Don’t you have them as well!

 

Lol I was replying to a different thread, I don’t know why it posted to this one..

 

Not if you plan on repainting. I had a pair on new oem white caps that needed to be painted black, paint shop would not paint, said since they have a textured finish he would not sand and respray black.

 

For the price, I figured what the hell?

The plastic is more rigid than OEM (the more rigid plastic seemed cheaper to me but idk). I was worried that this different plastic would effect the Blind Spot Monitoring sensor (behind the bumper cap) - but everything works fine.

The color I think is a little off but is every bit as good as I could expect from going to a body show and filing insurance claim and yeah yeah yeah.

The sensor hole is a little big but I'm the only one that would notice.

Would recommend!

 

I’ve just installed mine as well. Quality and paint match seem absolutely sufficient enough considering the price point. I can’t say I have any issues at all.

Also installing them was much easier than I expected. It took about 20 minutes and now having done it, I suspect I could do it even quicker a second time through.

On a side note, I found this sticker on the inside of both of the stock OEM bumper caps…don’t tell me that’s how much Toyota buys them for!
