    2WD, not SC, lowered the rear to match the unmolested front.
    Just looking at options right now.IMG_6551.jpg

    It’s a Goat.
    To answer your questions bluntly.

    No I don’t have experience with it.
    Therefore don’t know about installation.
    I do not like it.

    Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. I’m just a body kit hater. Always have been.

    Would you go with just the front bumper or both front and rear bumper? Seams like it should be both to me if you were to do it.

    Ok your truck I think it would look slick. I really only like two door trucks lowered and they have to look a certain way. Remember it’s your truck and you can do what you want!

    Curse you Perry the Platypus!
    With your truck, it could look good. I've always preferred sport trucks like the Lightning over huge 4x4's but unfortunately the market says otherwise. Just spend the money upfront and do it right (like a good paint job). It's your truck.

    I have found out that this is a bumper cover that installs over the existing bumper... I will have to see one in person before I can move forward or in another direction.

    I like it. Once painted, it would give your truck a different look.

    I would be happy with an extended version of this part, but I haven't found one.
    It's an air damn, right?

    From a member on a Facebook group I visit ... the Duraflex looks like it will accomplish what I want it to do without looking terrible. If I do it, it will be painted Super White to match the truck.

    I like it because your Tunny is lowered. Toyota also made a ABS one piece sport bumper too. I had one. Sold it to the Great One....RIP...Connor. He never got the chance to put it on his Tundra. Damn it..

    The reason I asked about your rear bumper is because it looks like it's not a stock bumper or missing something. If it was me, everybody is different, I would want one style which is why I would do both if I was going to do it. If it does cover the rear bumper then you would need to figure out what you would need under it which could add to the cost. I'm guessing even if you wanted one you most likely aren't going to find side skirts for a 2 door Tundra. I'm not sure if enough were sold. A good body shop could make some or modify ones sold, just not sure how much you want to spend. I don't think I've ever seen a 2 door Tundra around here, just DC and CM 4wd Tundras. A slightly lowered with custom bumpers Tundra would stand out. I would even think about adding a tasteful stripe of some sort and wheels at some point.

    I put an N-Fab RBS-H with the textured finish on the rear last year, I love it and I had planned to install their matching MRD-S on the front but I'm not sure now. The front suspension is not, and will not be lowered so an extended lower valance / air dam installed under the factory front bumper remains a viable option. My interest in the Duraflex cover is fading fast.

    If you already have off-roadish rear bumper, I would think matching front will look better.
