    I was going to get painted bumper caps but I got used to my chrome caps for now! Plus for close to $2000 for painted bumper ends, I'de rather spend that on better mods not just for looks! If anything in the future I'll get front and rear custom bumpers in black of course!

    Major consensus: Chrome goes with most all colors. It holds up well complared to the plasti-dip stuff. Full disclaimer: I own shares in plasti-dip.

    Nice! I promise you will love it. Keep the wand back 2 ft and you are good to go. You can keep that undercarriage immaculate too.

    i like the look of the chrome door handles with the mirror caps and bumper caps color matched. it all balances well with the oem wheels and steps. currently door handles are matched but may go back to chrome once i install my painted bumper caps up front.

    When I was young chrome and fins were king. I keep flip flopping. Until I change my bumpers to after market it will stay.

    I like the chrome accents on my 1794, but I do plan on a few modifications though, such as swapping out the grill and front bumper with back inserts from an SR5. Not a huge fan of the grey/silver color on my grill insert and bumper. Also not sure why they made the rear bumper caps color matched when the front are chrome, so eventually my rear will be chrome also. Finally a chrome bull bar to go with the running boards I have installed.

    I think it is the fact that painted bumpers on the front are rock magnets. For this reason I decided to leave mine chrome. The chrome grill and bulge were just WAY too much and had to go.

    Chrome is some hardy stuff (favorite material for hitch balls). That some of us happen to like the look is a bonus. They are easy to keep clean and shiny.FrontSide.jpg

    The sensors for the BSM and RCTA are behind the bumper, and they do not work through metal, so if you have that option, you have painted plastic rear bumper, even if your trim package comes with chrome front bumper. But I agree, if that's the case they should just include all the bumpers color matched if you pick the BSM option.

    I have some chrome parts for sale if anyone is interested PM me. I have the hood bulge and grille. Also looking to sell the headlights (not LED) and wheels/tires that came off my 2016 Tundra. If you are interested in any of these parts let me know. I can send photos if interested. Shipping would be expensive but I could meet anyone...I live in Missouri.
