Front bumper ends cap removal

I did a search and still uncertain. Can anyone tell me or direct me to a thread on how to remove the end caps? Do I need to remove the whole bumper or can I just removed the caps?

I'm either going to have them powder coated which I'll have to remove them.

If I have them wrapped,.the guy at the shop says he can do them without removing the caps.

I'm leaning toward powder coating but the color may be off a bit. If I wrap them the match will be almost perfect.

Powder coating $80 bucks

Wrapping them $60 materials, $150 labor.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

 

I removed the chrome bumper ends and replaced with painted ends. (Inferno Orange) I monkeyed around trying to remove without removing the bumper, do yourself a favor and remove the bumper.

I couldn't find instructions, but its pretty simple to do the job. Takes about 2.0 hours total.

Btw, if your looking i have a set of chrome ends for sale.

 

Thanks, I will remove the bumper if I go powder coat.

 

Yea, the whole bumper needs to come off. If it doesn't I wish someone would have told me that hahah

 

remove bumper to do front or rear?

 

@da_jeep_luva did an awesome write-up on this about a month ago. Keep in mind that when taking off the trim parts below the headlights, you don't have to remove the white pointy clips he mentioned. There are two pop rivets in the front, 2 self-taping screws on the wheel well liners that need to be removed. After that you can just pop the plastic trim piece off.

This is true

 

I would go for the painted bumper caps.
I got mine from Roman at Toyota of Cool Springs already painted

 

Can anyone point me toward video showing how to place the front driver side bumper extension? Got the part and fasteners.

 

Take the bumper off! It’s pretty much the only way. Take picture before because there’s some wonky hardware that hold the splash guards on. A forked pet tool will help during this part. You need to take the grill off as well to access the top bumper bolts as well.

 

Are the oem painted bumper ends plastic?

 

Yes, they are plastic like the TRD Pros
