New 24 OR. Have A Few Questions

[Nick B]

So I’m back into a 4 Runner after being gone for 3 years. Had a 2010 TE for over 12 years. Now have a 2024 TRD OR in the garage with 15 total miles.
My question. What’s with the big silver valence on the front bumper ? Dog ugly on my Underground paint .
Can it be easily removed or will there be holes behind it ? If that’s the case has anyone painted it ?
Thanks in advance.

There are holes if you remove the silver valance, you could paint yours or replace it with an aftermarket black one from 4RunnerLifestyle or other sources.

about 16 holes behind that that are ugly as butt and likely the plastic cover has left marring or marks on the sides or edging. Paint it or order a black one is the easiest fix, or get a low profile bumper for that area that cuts out and removes that section for a usable bumper with a winch and light mount.

It's the tough styling plastics, brah. It's clipped in so there are holes behind it.
