    IMG_1888.jpg Got tired of my color keyed end caps and got a set of black knockoffs. Looks a little less Sporty and more Off Roady to me. Pretty cheap and easy way for a different look. More stormtrooperish as well!

    Nothing wrong going with black. Notice my chrome grille on my garage wall.

    If nothing else the caps now match the wheel liners. Nice.

    Why not leave the factory caps in place and plasti dip them? Would have been cheaper than $38 and less work. :notsure:

    I actually wanted to hold onto the white caps. I plow in winter and tend to back up too far. Already replaced the passenger side taillight. I’m kinda OCD about any changes so I like to do stuff I can undo. So, it’s like a $38 insurance policy!

    You'll also note it's compact and manuverable size compared to an older Ridgeline and a newer Tundra :D

    I swear my truck looks lifted now…..about 1”.

    On my 2nd Gen Sport, my bumpers were color keyed, but black and I liked it.

    Anyway, fun and inexpensive project.

    I have the chrome ones … at first I hated them but over time they grown on me . It gives the truck an accent color rather than just one solid color . The black doesn’t look bad .i might try a set of these do they have a black chrome I think that would look cool .
