    Do you have a video on how to apply these vinyls to the front and rear bumper caps for the Tundra? Also, are these pre cut for the caps or are they just a square sheet that covers the bumper end caps and then we need to cut out the holes for the fog lights and trim the edges for the end caps? Thanks

    I will try to make a video as soon as I can.

    These are sheets. You still need to trim and tuck the material. If there were exactly the same size, it would be impossible to install and wrapping requires stretch for bumper ends so the top and bottom will lay flat once you apply heat to it.

    definitely will!

    Got new mirrors and handles on the way right now too... Gonna get the hood bulge and grille surround next week. Decided on doing the platinum grill. I think it will all look pretty good.

    Ordered the kit @Matte Tundra sells on Sunday and arrived on Wednesday. Great delivery turnaround! I haven't installed them but I did run them out and held them up against the truck. Looks like a really good match. Really good. Thanks again. Might be a week or two before I have time to get then on. Too much going on.

    It wasn't easy. I've wrapped some pieces on other cars. The vinyl I got was made by Oracle. Was pretty good to work with but not as easy as some others.

    If you've never wrapped anything then I would recommend having someone install it. Definitely worth it.

    It definitely isn't 100℅ but it matches really well. And serves well until I get around to getting the bumper ends painted.
