    Looking to cover this up!

    I don’t want a huge heavy front bumper/skid plate. Looking for something that’s closer to OEM.
    Any ideas? Links?

    The TRD aluminum skid plate off the pro's is about your only option if you don't want a big heavy one.

    FWIW skid plates and bumpers aren't related other than they are both trail armor.

    No you're all good fam, just trying to educate, didn't want you potentially having an incorrect expectation that the bumper and the front skid plate were homogeneous when they are separate parts, you can have a great big old steel heavy skid plate and continue to run the stock bumper and vice versa.
