    Rear bumper covers arrived today. All taped as needed and look great.
    Hopefully I’ll have time later this weekend to install and post up a photo or 2.

    The official product description says that they wrap around just like OEM. So you shouldn't see any chrome.

    They should start shipping out next week. They were being made today and yesterday

    I pulled the trigger on the handles. Once installed, I’ll report back on overall looks and quality.

    Yahoo! no more chrome rear bumper.
    (Or anywhere) :)
    Lighting and angles for picture was weird. Perfect color match.

    Would the gloss black match the gloss black fender flares? I have blueprint but considering making chrome mustache gloss black.

    @EC1 Let me guess, these pieces are too close? Paint chipping from I’m guessing vibration while touching each other. They were fine after the initial install. They were a tight fit and I did tape before installing upper stache IMG_3958.jpg IMG_3956.jpg

    Just looked. For sure yours does have a bit more of a gap. I know all trucks are not identical... it was tight getting the upper piece in there. Not too noticeable but annoying. I may hit it with the touch up paint I have.

    So is that a fitment issue or installation error? I'll need to keep this in mind when my set comes in.

    I am thinking a fitment issue in my case. I did the test fit and it was super tight too. I was making sure the chrome was completely covered which I was able to accomplish. If I would have tried sliding the upper piece up prior to sticking, the top by the hood wouldn't have been off. The pieces are pretty spot on but each truck is different.
    I'll see what EC1 says/ thinks.

    I trimmed mine...felt it was a tad too long and if I got the bend by the hood lined up, it would touch the bumper cap. So I trimmed the bottom of the mustache cover...mostly on the passenger side iirc

    I may make that attempt and then touch up the bottom pieces with my touch up paint to prevent further chipping. Thank you!

    I can't remember what the fender flares look like. Can you post a photo?

    Interesting. Please send me a DM with your order number. I'll send these photos to the R&D team to investigate and diagnose.

    I'm not sure. This is the first we're seeing of this and I'll be sending these photos to our R&D team for diagnosis.

    I've been out of state for a funeral all week, so I haven't been in the office. I'm also the only one who routinely mans the forums...

    I'm sending out an email and will try to get you an answer as soon as I can. We fly back tomorrow, so I'll have some time to clock in and answer you before boarding the flight.

    I appreciate your communication. I realize it’s not you holding things up. Just didn’t realize it would take this long before shipping. Thanks

    I'm trying my best! Y'all here on the forums are incredibly important to our business.

    We didn't realize the delay would be this long either. I didn't get an answer as to what's going on, but I'll see if I can just get your part sent out or have someone from customer service reach out to you with a little more info.

    Awesome!!

    We're slowly pulling these guys off the rack to have them taped up. I'll see if I can make your parts move a little faster.

    Installed, talk about anxiety! Used most of the blackout tape. Near impossible to get it perfect but it’s 98%. That upper part is tricky to get everything lined up perfectly.

    what an improvement over the chrome!

    Thanks. After I installed, the chrome Toyota emblem bothered me. So I popped it out and dipped it.

    Would like to do this but I have zero skills, am ham handed as well as OCD about stuff like that. Meaning I know in advance my efforts would not be up to my standards.
    But I really don't like all that chrome...

    I've watched the video - I would make myself crazy trying to get it perfect and just don't have the skill (or patience) to get it done so I wouldn't cringe every time I look at it.

    Doing this on my new truck was nerve wracking. It turned out great. It’ll never be 100% but pretty close.

    mine cap is a tad misaligned with the hood but it was needed to cover the bright metal. I’m just never going to look at the hood line again haha
