OEM bumper cap review

Just received these in from Sparks parts. I'm gonna get right to the point. I had my rear bumpers plasti-dipped in black with a graphite metalizer over it, and it was almost an exact match match to MGM without the high gloss. The dip held up great for about a year before I peeled it to install these. I wanted to go legit so I got these..

Pros - look good (as long as you don't stare to closely at the fronts), that's about it

Cons - cheap flimsy pieces of plastic with an expensive paint job. I figured they would be more sturdy. Sketchy fitment of front caps. The main parts are just held on by 3m tape. 2 days later, and I already had to push the top of the front cap back down. Yes, I cleaned my chrome with alcohol twice before installation. There are "pockets" of air in certain parts, especially around the corners.


There are some slivers of chrome showing on one side. I even watched RobMotives tutorial, and he warned about that, and I still ended up with some chrome showing just like his.

Overall, I like the look. That said, I do not recommend. Save yourself $550 and get some plasti dip. Unless you have endless pockets, then sure go on and get these. These should be priced at $199.

****FYI, the reason for the chrome grille is because I didn't get the right part, it should be fixed this week.***

 

$550? Ouch!

 

Where are u located

 

San Antonio

 

Dam too far

 

I have too shelter in place

 

Same here. Thats why I keep spending money on my truck!!! Freaking bored!

 

Yeah sell parts to buy more parts never ends

 

Lol same

 

Yeah I'm about to order a bunch of stuff from AJT design. Hopefully their shipping is not as bad as I've read on YouTube comments..

 

Wish people would stop buying their products so buy-ins and promo codes would start flowing freely lol

 

I fckd up too. I ordered from sparks and got the ones without sensor holes without even thinking about it. Mine cost around the same. Wish I spent the xtra 150-200 and just got a legit replacement.

 

Yeah they are pretty flimsy huh? I'm satisfied with the look for the most part, but they are extremely overprived.

 

Can you order the direct replacement not covers for the front bumper ends? That is the only thing left of chrome on my truck...except for for the little Toyota symbol on the steering wheel which AJT is making one.
