I purchased parts from a variety of places. eBay...local dealership (front bumper), and amazon. Some were used parts, some where new parts.
bumper: 337
bumper painted: 397 (most expensive step)
retaining brackets (both sides) : 97
RCI filler plate (optional): 84
RCI skid plate (optional): 312. If you do the TRD skid the filler plate is not needed
52148-35120: 35
bumper reinforcement: 250
clips: 20
fog bezels both sides: 50
lower valance: 210
lower grill: 75
Chinese grill with lights: 165
approx total: ~2050
If you can find a bumper in your color that would be the biggest savings of the entire project. Those two steps account for almost half the cost.
I'm attaching a PDF that another member

shared with me. The pdf goes over all the parts that are needed (and shared) between models. Extremely helpful.
After accumulating all the parts it took me about 6 hours from start to finish by myself to remove and install my bumper. With another person it would have sped things up a bit. I really like how it turned out.
