    I prefer the TRD OR wheels - I like the contrast (like a previous poster stated) - but the all black PRO wheels look good too. Both are good choices.

    Many Thanks for the comments. The shine on the OR wheels certainly stands out as the all black wheels have a tendency to get "lost" a bit in the black wheel wells...especially on the white trucks. So far the voting is exactly 80/20 in favor of the BBS Pros...a little wider margin than I expected.

    Done...
    First with Bumpershellz, which I didn't like and then removed.

    Then I changed to OEM style end caps:

    Looks awesome.

    How was the OEM install? You have to take the entire bumper assembly off for that?

    Actually, I've done it both ways. Long story, but I bought the OEM style caps and had them painted 040 some months ago. I was changing the valence too, so I removed the valence and the caps while still in place on the bumper. THIS WAS A MISTAKE and a total PITA to reach the small nuts that hold the cap and valence together. I thought the OEM cap color was too bright vs. other parts, so I removed and put the chrome ones back on. I then found out about the Bumpershellz and thought this was a better idea and maybe not as bright. I was wrong about the color and they looked to be a bit brighter white than my OEM set. Also, I didn't like that the fog light bezels were hidden by the cut-outs. Then, I went back and reinstalled the OEM style caps, but removed the complete valence/cap assy. this time. Still a lot of work, but easier than installing in place. Next, I'll replace the small front plastic panels above the caps with new painted ones as they look a little yellowed (5 year old truck) and I think this is where most of my color match problems are most visible...one has some damage anyhow. Like many on this site, I have an OCD!

    Hey brother, do you think it would be possible to install fog light on top of bumpershellz cap? So you could see bezels?

    Unfortunately, no. That won't work. The Bumpershellz don't recess back into the fog light housing area and are flush with the face of the cap. They basically have a cut-out for the fog light. Doesn't look too bad. I just like seeing the full bezel that is factory stock.

    That is a deal breaker for me as well. Probably will powdercoat it after all. Thanks for reply

    How much are those OEM end caps? I was going to order the ecoological but now that you pointed out that they don’t sit flush with the dog light I’m not sure now

    I bought 2 plastic aftermarket caps off EBay for about $95 each. Had them painted by a local shop for $80 each. I think Sparks Toyota sells the complete painted caps but they are a little more pricey.
