    Hi TW,

    So I have been looking at the bumpershellz to do a “chrome delete” and wanted everyone’s opinion on which ones they like or prefer. I am looking at both the matte black and the TPO but I am torn on which ones look more factory. I have a 2023 Ice Cap white OR….any suggestions?? Thanks in advance for all your inputs!! Post pics if you have done either of these options, may help in my decision.

    I got the textured black ones, I guess they are the TPO? They are a perfect match to the existing black on the bumper. And super easy to install. Some will suggest cheaper options but the bumpershellz are worth the price if you want a quick and easy solution that looks great.

    I have looked at doing a full replacement but would only do the OEM from Toyota but they are not cheaper. As for the link you sent, they ship what is in stock at the time and can be two different manufacturers for both the left and the right….actual verbiage on their website below.

    Various Manufacturer product is sourced from manufacturers such as TYC, TYG, DEPO (MaxZone), Kool-Vue, and Eagle Eyes. Sometimes our warehouse's inventory may have the same part from two or more manufacturers, which is why we cannot guarantee which brand you'll receive.

    At least the Bumpershellz are made in the USA and not some foreign country!!

    Quick Google-Fu turns up OEM for $118 in black unpainted. Still cheaper than the thinner, stick on Bumpershellz. And I've ordered from RockAuto several times, fairly sure that's a standard worst case disclaimer as everything always matched.
