After putting on a stock chrome rear bumper as a "temporary" addition since I happened to end up having it. I realized I had made the wrong choice. The OEM+ look was the way to go with this 4Runner. It's proven to be an excellent daily driver, only getting better, might as well just keep on polishing it up and get it done so I can move onto other projects.

There's a surprise coming next week, which will tie the whole thing together, stay tuned.

But for now here we go. I ended up ordering a whole front bumper setup off of ebay. I know that the cheap aftermarket chrome bar won't be nearly as long lasting as an OEM one, but the fit and finish out of the box is good. I also went with an aftermarket valance as the plastic they use more closely matches the skinny flares, the factory valances have a blu-ish tone.

Finish it up with the clear signals to match the rest, and I wired up a pair of LED's in them as DRL's since the markers already act as signals.

I'll also be digging through my parts stash and finding the best rear mudflaps I can to finish up the set. Still putting off the rear hatch, it'll be the only thing left before too long.
