    I would happily trade for chrome bumper caps to replace my non painted caps.

    Since the bumpers are plastic I prefer color matched. But it doesn't look bad on my silver sky metallic. Probably the color that 'hides' it best.

    There was a time the more chrome you had the more panties you would find tucked under your wipers with a phone number on them. Don’t know how many blisters I got dialing them on my rotary phone

    I'm old enough to remember when all cars had chromed steel bumpers that were strong enough to jack the car up using a bumper jack.

    So to me, chrome looks "right".

    How'd you get those so cheap? The price's are not bad but they get you on "shipping and handling" even for the basic black plastic which i'm okay with $80 for the 2 caps then $45 for s/h

    Go to ebay, they are $70 shipped. I bought some and gonna get a buddy to paint match them.

    There is also cement, silver, white, and black already painted on there for $120. I think I saw Barcelona red at one point. Just no stupid MGM. Not the shells either, replacement covers.

    I prefer the black caps IMO looks better with a contrasting look

    yeah I am going to see how they fit before I paint match, so I could have a change of mind if they look good. Supposed to be here next week.

    Not a big fan but I don't hate it like some people. I was originally going to get an SR5 but the chrome bumper is actually one of the reasons I went TRD lol.

    I like chrome - front and back...I do not like color matched at all and I do not like black at all. That's probably why Toyota offers choices - like women, some men like blondes some like brunettes - but every man likes a women.

    100% agree. It is also fragile and does not serve as a bumper whatsoever past the hitch. Put a steel one on.

    I remember. Those were metal though, not this new plastic shit. This was a slow slide into a tree. Have steel on there now and this won't happen the same way again.
