What's in the box

 

Bumper Caps - Toyota Tacoma (2016-2021) – Runnin 4 Tacos

Used so you don't have to cut the factory bumper

 

Meso makes bumper caps?

 

He designed them for R4T

 

I looked at the link, I was thinking the rears.

 

And it shows in the quality. I know a lot of folks were hung up on the price but have to say this is an OEM quality part for an aftermarket problem. Money well spent.

 

Agreed. People pay for convenience and this is definitely convenient!

 

@atlas99 Amen to that my friend. Not afraid of doing some cutting here and there but a factory clean edge and the additional benefit of keeping my original bumper intact, that’s more than worth the price for me.

 

Old thread, but question on these. When installing a bumper I understand that fender flares must also be cut. When using these to stock back out for one reason or another, are people just buying new flares? Just leaving the cut flares on? Just making sure Im not missing anything

 

Thread necromancy but why make a new one. Can anyone tell me or have close up photo of how the black bumper caps look texture wise? Is it matte black like the texture of the OR fender flares? Or is it smoother and shiny? Hard to tell from the photos on the R4T website.

 

Props for not starting a new thread buddy. Someone chime in with some photos so we can reward this kind of behavior

 

mine were smooth no texture, matte finish for the most part.. hope that helped

 

Thanks for the pics, would you say they are a close match to the black fender flares?

 

Depending on your OCD, i'd say its close enough. I painted mine myself with color coded cans. color matched well but clear coat not so much. The difference in finishes didn't bother me enough.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll run them black and if I don't like it I'll spray them like you did, or take them to the local body shop and have them painted, or maybe wrap them.
