    Have any of you heard of or used products from this company? Bumper cap covers and grill overlays specifically. They aren’t cheap, nor overly expensive but I’m curious..

    There is a huge thread on here about them.

    I have their product and it looks OEM.

    I recommend it to everyone who wants to ditch the chrome.

    Yes, lots of people have used them. I bought their bumper caps for my taco and loved them.

    I used their bumper caps and they worked out great. Saved several hundred dollars over replacing ends with painted OEM (plastic) ends or removing and having my chrome ends stripped/painted. I am very happy with their bumper covers.

    We’re there any issues with the sensors?

    Yes. Some folks had issues with the sensors popping out or separating from the housing. The thread I linked has the good, the bad and the ugly. The sensor issue should be towards the end of the thread.

    Read the whole thread and unless I missed something, didn’t see much info. Can you give me the cliff notes version for the caps and grill surround?

    Sorry this is one of the threads I was thinking about, I thought it was posted in the main thread:
    https://www.tundras.com/threads/front-parking-sensor.93903/

    Most folks haven't had issue or minor issues that have been corrected so far.

    Bumper caps, yes... grill surround, meh.
    I think you'd be happier with a factory surround and bulge. Pricier, but way better fitment.

    I tried the caps but did not keep them. The quality was very good and there is nothing wrong with the design as intended so I'm not knocking them. For me and my OCD, I didn't like that they only have a cut-out for the fog light and somewhat covered the outer bezel. I opted for the OEM style and had a set painted to match my 040 white. Also, I'm sure the color was good with the Bumpershellz, but maybe my 2016 white had faded a bit so the white was brighter than other parts on the front.
    New Bumpershellz:

    I should say that they are OEM "style" and not really OEM as that's more $ than I wanted to invest. Regardless, they are basically the same plastic part that Toyota sells that still has to be painted. I ordered mine off E-bay and paid a local shop $180 to paint both.
    Edit: If changing from chrome end caps to plastic, there is a plastic retainer clip that also has to be replaced on each side and to properly match-up with the plastic cap mounting points.

    The Bumpershellz fit over the chrome end caps. The OEM plastic caps replace the chrome caps.
