    I had same issue with original (leer), took back and found a used one and got sprayed to factory MGM specs for $700. Ended up being a few $$ cheaper going that route as well.

    There are some good deals out there on used shells, just need to be picky and not get first one you see.

    Cheers

    2015 TRD Off Road. 2.5" lift. 285/75 BFG KO2s. Bull bar.
    Every other vehicle I've had has been blacked out. Switched it up and went chrome. Not disappointed at all.

    Any suggestions on what to do next?

    Looks nice...Not a fan of bull bars myself...But if you like it, that's all that matters.

    I bought a unpainted bumper from Toyota after destroying my chrome one off roading. I wet sanded the new bumper and used this as primer
    [​IMG]

    Yeah I used 2-3 cans of it and 3-4 cans of clear.

    Oh, ok. That makes more sense than painting a chrome bumper. Haha
