Front Bumper Replacement

[nc-grayson]

Greetings All.

Most would probably assume I'm talking aftermarket bumpers here, but my questions today are about OEM front bumpers.

I drive a 2000 highlander/sr5 sport. I'm assuming by default, (haven't actually 100% confirmed yet), I have the "fat lip" bumper from the factory. In searching, I've found volumes on aftermarket bumpers, but not much about variations in the OEM bumpers.

I'm planning on replacing my front bumper, simply for aesthetic reasons. I'm not interested in aftermarket, just want OEM/OEM quality replacements.

Currently, my bumpers are all color matched, Millenium Silver. I'm open to replacing front and rear bumpers with chrome, as well as also just keeping them color matched.

I'm assuming something like this is what I need? Obviously paint to color match if I went this route.

99 02 Toyota 4Runner Front Bumper Face Bar Blk Filler Valance w Flare Hole | eBay

Or this if I went the Chrome route?

99 02 Toyota 4Runner Base SR5 Front Bumper Chr Filler Valance Signal Light 5 Pcs | eBay

Also, anybody have any reviews of quality / fitment with these? I'm assuming the bumpers will be an easy, direct swap, because I'm not getting rid of my fat lip, just replacing it?

Thank you so much for your help!

Check out Amazon for the parts. You can get free shipping with most of the sellers. I just bought the chrome part for my 98 form them...$110 shipped with Prime.

The quality on the couple I have seen are good. You can't tell a difference between them and OEM. However, I would shy away from Certi Fit...

Thank you. I have amazon prime so I'll look into them when it comes time to make the purchase. The one thing I like about the ebay bumpers is that they're basically a kit, whereas all i've seen on ebay is individual parts. For a complete noob like myself, a complete kit is valuable to me
