    My Tacoma seems to already have a black steel skid plate, up front under the bumper...is the aluminum skid plate from Tacoma Accessories a cosmetic thing, or does it replace or improve what is already there?

    TIA

    So is the aluminum skid plate made to go on top of the black one?

    Just installed the Toyota skid plate yesterday (Birthday present from my gf). It's not that thick but I really like the look.
