Now you have a great reason to install that steel rear bumper you've had your eye on. If someone backs into a steel bumper, the damage is done to their vehicle and not yours.

 

you are trying to put it on a surface that looks domed, has a raised logo on it and doesn't look like smooth paint-those holes on the centercap is for the glue to push through - you need to buy the oem center cap

 

Yeah. Someone at work hit me and gave it to their insurance. I was willing to work with the 2 of us and told them it would be cheaper. To each their own

 

What do you think of REAR BUMPER END PAINTED Cement WITH SENSOR HOLE LH TO1104138 this one? I kinda want to keep the paint matching bumper and also need the sensor cutout hole.

 

I had good luck on Ebay when I bought replacements for mine. Color matches perfect on Cement. I bought from this seller

Ecoological has been the standard for most people:

thats who i got mine from

 

You can buy a can over color matched spray paint and some 2K clear coat. You'd need to sand and fill it if there are any dents or deep scratches. I just did my whole front bumper. Once can of the paint from a local shop was $45 and $25 for the 2k clear coat. Came out perfect. I had some fillable primer sitting around. Or just see if you can find one on ebay.

 

First pics/mods of a '23 I've seen yet. It seems the Sport trim is first off the line. I don't think I could have waited any longer than I did even though I think got one of the last '22s.

 

Bought a used bumper and did the install this weekend. Previous owner gave me his already cut bumper so I could save my original. Color matched the paint and used 2k clear. Looks 100% match. Except where a few small pieces of dust landed since I had to paint outside.

new bumper install wasn’t so bad. There was a little tweak in one of the wings but I got it to line up using 2 small washers as shims. Just need to wire up the light and paint my shackles red. Haha

 

No problem. It’s all good. ‘Cept for the incident

 

$120 knock-off pro grille installed!

 

I think we quibbling over semantics...I emailed the seller complaining that they fell off. In my mind that's pretty much the same as "checking with the seller".

 

The caps are domed to match and what you're seeing are the guide holes for the OEM logos plus your seeing a ghost image from where they were. The surface is completely smooth so any good adhesive would work. It was my impression other Tacoma owners are buying these aftermarket caps so I'm guessing there's a substantial difference in quality, at least of the adhesive as the caps look great.

 

have a link to that one? There’s so many knock-offs out there

 

Can't believe this keeps coming up. Buy this. Slip it over the existing drain (no clamp necessary) and route where you want it.

 

Yessir, here’s the one I bought. You also have to purchase the grille garnish separately which is like $28
