Chrome Delete Covers for Tundra Bumpers - BumperShellz

If the price is closer to the powder coating, then definitely. It’s definitely a hassle with powder coating. The rear caps are a major PITA to get off, and you have to go without bumpers until they are done. Luckily I scored some extra caps for free, so I didn’t have to drive around without bumpers for a week.

Even then, I ended up paying a body shop to swap the rear ones. The front were easy, but I couldn’t get the rear ones off to save my life.

 

MGM!

 

I'd be in for a white set for the rear.

 

AAANNNNDDDD Here we go! First test covers fitted late last night! Check out the Before/After pictures. From what I've seen and was told, everyone was extremely happy with the fit. Snug to the bumper all the way around and no chrome visible. They have to make some minor tool changes to get ready for more mass manufacturing. They've also begun the tooling for the rear now! Big steps but a lot of work still to go... for other people lol

WITHOUT COVERS
WITH COVERS

 

Nice! Just need to be Barcelona Red, and shipped off to a Beta Tester to give feedback. I may be open to that....just sayin....

 

I'd be interested in this. Front and back bumper as well as grill cover would be awesome! Black all the way.

 

Please hurry, walked though the garage this morning and the cans of Plasti Dip were screaming at me.

 

Definitely In for a front set in Super White!!

 

The fogs don't have to be pulled. The edges of the fog lamp cut-out lay over the fog lamp bezel. It gives it a clean look and will save a ton on the installation time. When we get one in color I will take a close-up. Hard to show it in a black on black picture.

 

You can quiet them up by putting them in the garbage

 

I might be catching your drift lol

 

How did the fastest most popular color not make the poll?! Lol

I’m in for super white front and rear!

 

Man, that looks great. I’m glad to see some folks with a solution for this chrome abomination.

 

Just added it to the poll. It's one of our standard colors, but I figured I'd throw it in there anyway lol

 

I'm liking that! This is unpainted? Will there be an option for a more matte finish?

 

Yeah. That's the paintable abs version. Just used the cheapest stuff for the fit-up. There will be a matte black, Textured TPO, and Bed-lined version as well. Those are the best sellers we have right now for the Tacoma.

 

Thanks! Now I have to decided if I should go MGM or matte black.

 

Southeast Toyota is an independent distributor, so these are not Toyota parts. Which means Southeast Toyota is getting them from a vendor of some sort.

 

Very interesting Thanks for the insight! I'll have to do some digging

 

when are these going to be available and cost?

 

I've said it earlier in the thread, but cost will be a little up in the air until we finish our manufacturing assessment and get quotes from a painter. I've scheduled a meeting with what I hope will be our painter this weekend so I should at least have that cost. Rest assured, they'll be reasonably priced. For availability, we're still on track for the late December/January release. I'll keep the thread up to date when I get new info.

 

thanks!

 

In for a set of front MGM

 

I'm thinking the same but the rears too!

 

Definitely need this for my tundra so i dont Have to go thru all the hassle of power coating ect. Let us know when it’s available for Tundras!!

 

The best color...Slate Metallic was left off the poll !!!

 

Caucasian!

 

Nice job OP!

I would be in for a front and rear set in Barcelona Red.

 

December in time for a Christmas gift = happy marriage. Post Christmas to tack onto holiday debt = bad for marriage. Timing is everything.

 

I'm not going to even try to act smart and pretend like I fully understand what thermoformed means but I assume we're talking about basically a "plastic" cover and my experience with plastics that remain outside and exposed to constant UV is that they often warp, get brittle, break at the fastening locations, etc over time. Though I'm far from an expert on automotive body work and finishes. Been trying to visit other forums and see what owners of different trucks are saying but the product hasn't been around for more than a couple years from what I can tell. So might be too soon to say. But any R&D-based comments on how the product is intended to hold up long term? Has any warping been reported? Didn't see anything on the Ecoological website Warranty page to really indicate if this is supposed to be a "permanent" one-time solution or if it has a finite life expectancy but I assume with a factory paint-matched finish it is designed to hold up just like any other OE plastic? In other words if well cared for should we expect it to last the life of the vehicle? I'm weighing the pros and cons of vinyl vs Bumpershellz. DEFINITELY IN if this is the first and last time I ever have to cover my chrome!
