Hey just wondering what everyones oppinion is, just bought an 08 Trd sport, was contemplating whether to put a bull bar on the front or just a reg. Skid plate, kinda like the bull bar, but also think it makes it look low to the ground in the front. Also wanted to know how or where yinz get the black on the middle of the lower front bumper?

bull bar = useless IMHO

The black things on lower bumper can either be painted or order vinyl from SockMonkey.
