I recently broke a plastic fender flare peice of my 4Runner's bumper. Im going to buy a new one and install it, but the little rubber gasket (in pic below) needs to be replaced too, but it cant be painted on top of because the paint will chip off (i know from experience). So my question is, if i buy a new rubber gasket, does it already come in the green color i need it in? I checked online and when i search for the part, it comes in these colors....
Green Back - 1999-02 $5.52
Gray beige Back - 1999-02 $5.52
Blue silver Back - 1999-02 $5.52
Silver Back - 1999-02 $5.52

So does anyone know from experience if the color of the rubber gasket already on the car is the same as the colored one you can get from the dealer (if thats even possible)?

 

This is what happens to the gasket if its painted over...

 

And this is where the part went...

 

Anyone know?

 

back to top

 

If they specify green why would it not be the correct color... I'm confused

 

I might not of explained myself correctly.

The rubber gaskets i have on my 4Runner now is green.... the color of my 4Runner is Imperial Jade Mica (Dark Hunter Green). What i wanted to know is if the green color specified in the parts programs ive looked through matches with the green gaskets i have now. Is there any other greens available on 3rd gen. 4Runners that the gasket could belong to?

I think i might just have to buy it and see, hopefully not.

 

as far as i know, there has only ever been 1 green.
