    I have a 2017 Tundra with Chrome on the bumper endcaps both front and back. I was searching where to find some color matched replacements (not a fan of the covers, wanting replacements) as well as a replacement for both the main grill ad the upper piece (the piece on the hood) I have found the endcaps all over, but I have never heard about these sites so I am looking for input. Also, not finding good replacement grills, finding overlays. Basically, I am wanting to get rid of the chrome.

    Any recommendations?

    Sparks Parts and a few others will have the color-matched parts OEM, which is the only way to go for the grill and the hood bulge. Minutes to install, great look. Let me see if I can find the black for you.

    I'll actually vouch for the Ecoological bumper cap covers. For a fraction of the cost and effort, mine still look really brand new front & rear. Getting the bumper end caps themselves removed is a lot of work, hell even installing just the covers is a bit of fuss getting your hands under the center bit to loosen the 5-6 bolts from the inside so you can slide things under edges.

    Edit:

    Here's the hood bulge:

    Front Molding - Attitude/Midnight Black 218 - Toyota (76180-0C030-C0)

    Grill:

    218 ATTITUDE BLACK GRILLE - Toyota (53100-0C320-C0) - that's the Platinum version, there's others if you don't like that particular look, but you get the idea.

    I second Sparks Parts. I purchased the color matched hood bulge and grille for my ‘21 tundra.

    We altered the design of our BumperShellz so you no longer need to remove those 6 bolts. Installing our product is much easier now. Most of the work occurs in the front of the vehicle. You still might need to remove a couple of bolts or fasteners, but it's nothing like it was.

    Well, mine was available in 040 White regardless, heh. Doubt it goes beyond what would've been offered OEM in that part.

    They do. But they're $600+

    Our stuff color-matched runs $200+ LESS

    Yes, my hood bulge and grille surround is color matched to my Cavalry Blue tundra. They have every color.

    True. I priced a set (bulge & surround) from yall and it'll be around $300.

    I think I'll have to do prep work to my existing parts due to bed liner being on them.

    You're absolutely right. I spoke with the R&D team and would need to significantly sand down your bedliner or remove it entirely for our products to work. Bed liner is designed to resist adhesives and our products go on with 3M brand automotive grade tape and 3M brand adhesion promoter.
