    HAHA, I did exactly as you said without even seeing your post :D
    Looks a lot better now thanks to that trick but could have gone better in terms of heat distribution on the plastic surface (tried the bed liner trick NewInprovedRon, didn't come out the way I want but at least I can now do a bed liner project :p)

    All things considered, its hard to notice unless you try to find it now so I can consider that a success :yay:
    Thanks, everyone!

    Looks a lot better!! I'd still plasti-dip all the black parts on the bumper black though. I did that on my old 2004 Tacoma, it had a black plastic lower valance similar to the setup on your Tundra, faded, 190k miles worth of rock chips, road rash, etc. Looked like a brand new part after 3 coats of the plasti-dip, stayed looking great for the next 2 years I had the truck.

    Nah, its fine. I can do bed lining now so it was still worth buying the bed liner (I just hope 1 can is enough to do it :D)
