    Hey guys!

    Just bought a 14 Tundra SR/SR5 (how carfax listed it at least) with all black bumpers.
    Searched all over so apologize if I just missed it but I was curious as to if theres a difference between the front and rear bumpers. I know theres some with chrome and color matched but what about the bumper itself?
    I really want the color matched bumper ends and was wondering if they would still fit on mine or if they're totally different in that respect.
    Also, I know a couple guys make the painted covers for the chrome caps, would those work on my black ends as well, or no?

    Thanks!

    Welcome from NY.
    You can vinyl wrap the ends.

    Well both my back caps have a few deep scratches which eliminates vinyl on those unless I get new one . And from what I hear the fronts are almost as expensive to get wrapped as to get the cover . I've wrapped a few things but nothing with the curve and shape of those.
    Also, thanks for the quick response!

    I just bought a 2020 SR and would like to color match the bumper end caps as well. I'm wondering if anyone with the SR (black plastic) end caps have had them painted? They have a slight texture to them and I'm not sure how that would turn out.

    My understanding is that the color matched end caps mount the same way as the plastic SR caps, but the chrome (metal) caps have different mounting hardware/brackets. Is that accurate?

    I pulled up next to another 2020 TTS like mine and they had their bumper end caps and grill surround coated with line x. Didn’t know you could spray bed liner on chrome. He said they charged him $300 for everything.

    I found a good deal on chrome caps and a good deal on powder coating them which is happening tomorrow.
    I have an SR, anyone know if I need anything extra to mount them? They do have the black plastic bracket on them
