    I painted my stock bumper black on my white Tacoma. Chrome sucks on lighter-colored vehicles

    I don't hate chrome in fact I think it looks pretty good on full size trucks, but for some reason color match looks much better on the Tacoma - that's why I converted my OR to Sport

    Sounds turrible. Plate bumpers should always be black.

    The exception to that is white. Every other colour looks awful with a colour matched plate bumper.

    I painted mine black and don't like it so now I'm looking at color matching, then I'll have to color match the grill surround.

    On our trucks, it's probably more beneficial for clearance and angles offroading to get a rear bumper rather than a front. You can always get a front one later.
