    Nice ! What type of lift did you go with ? Did you retain your air bags in the rear?

    Did you get this sorted out?

    The cover is supposed to come with those side sections where you remove the cover and screw them in. The kit comes complete with everything you need. I have the installation instructions if you really want them in advance. LMK.

    Also do we have a place to upload files for the ground here? Kind of a brain trust pool of photos/pdfs and such?

    Yes, I bought all my stuff from Josh @ 1stgenoffroad.com. The kit below comes with tandem offroads rear lift kit for the air suspension.

    Bought some plastic restorer for black plastics that I saw online. It worked amazing, but lets see how long it lasts.

    Started with the top of the rear bumper.

    Amazon.com: CERAKOTE® Ceramic Trim Coat Kit - Quick Plastic Trim Restorer - Ceramic Coating Guaranteed Restoration to Last Over 200 Washes – A Ceramic Coating, Not a Dressing : Automotive

    i used it on my previous tundra and it lasted a year (before I traded it in), but i didn't get to see it's full term.
    i put it on the sequoia windshield cowl and rear bumper piece like you showed and it's still holding up. it's particular about not getting water on it until it's cured. but it works great. people on here have used it with long term success. just search it on here if you want.
    of course i'd wait until your product wears down. hopefully it'll last. like i said, it looks good. i just hope it lasts for you. if not, check out cerakote. the water beads off it like a ceramic coated painted surface. it's not greasy and slick once cured, so it won't be slippery for your step sides.
