changed out painted bumpers to chrome
the first ower had put on a chrome on the front. I started to put back on a painted , but decided I liked the Chrome. I know it's a sport , and should have painted , but I think it looks good

Thanks for the replys. I bought it off EBAY. I cant remember the price. Shipping was kind of high though. Best Part about the rear is it comes in 3 pieces, so if it has a dent say just on the right side...then thats all you need to change. Just remember to check to see if it is made for flares or not. As for selling the rear, let me think about it and I promise to get back to you. I might keep it just in case I later want to go with painted. (I have a front for it..just needs to be painted same color). P.S. , we sold the 412 chopper (in background) and now fly a S76. That Bitc- is F>A>S>T>!!!

I hate chrome on just about anything. Which is why I didn't get an SR5 and went with the Sport. But to each his own, though. Glad YOU like it.

Uh..It is a SR5...Sport. Your right though , thats whats cool about owning one..you can change it to your liking. Belive me , Ive seen 4Runner and thought ..WHAT THE FU-K ??? But , if the owner is happy...then so am I. I cant stand brushbars , as a matter of fact , mine came with a brand new one on it. When I got it home, it came off in a hartbeat. It now sits in the back yard where Ill probly put it out for the trash. Then there are guys that would pawn their mothers false teeth so the would have the $$$ to go buy one.
