    Hey guys, what should I do with my bumper caps? I have the stock chrome on there which don’t really blend well with the truck as I’m trying to black it out. That being said, should I get matte black bumper caps, gloss black bumper caps, or Barcelona red bumper caps? Thx

    If you want them black, pull them and plastidip them.

    The eco branded ones, (can't remember the name) seem to be the go-to. I like the textured ones. Too expensive though.

    Rockauto sells the OEM black for about the same money as the knock-off’s.

    I replaced mine.

    With a little more chrome, and tail fins you'd be the envy of the neighborhood.


    And don't forget the white side wall tires !

    Not Barcelona but I went with black for reference. I ended up just using Rustoleum Peel coat (basically the same as Plastidip) and the black is pretty much a spot-on match with the rest of the trim which is more of a satin finish rather than matte. Was going to buy black caps but figured why spend the money when I can keep an OEM part and just spray it for $10. Has held up great like everything else I've used this stuff on.

    Color matched would look good too but the black goes great on off-road trim, IMO.
