chrome bumpers
I'm not quite fond of my chrome bumpers on my 97ltd, I like the look on the newer models which match the color of the bumper with the body, does anyone know if chrome bumpers can be painted???

Seems like all the chome bumpers are less prone to dings too.
All the Runner I see around here with color keyed bumpers have small dings all over, as to the ones with chrome that have none on most. Maybe thicker?

Painted bumpers
I just got finished putting my chrome painted OEM black front bumper back on. With the black grill, black pearl emblems and black rear bumper (OEM chrome) it looks stellar! It is going to stay parked until I sell it, so no dings for me! I wish I had a pic, but it was too dark tonight to do it justice. It looks awesome!

The 01-02 black pearls have a larger front grill emblem so you'll need an old black pearl grill emblem or a new 01-02 grill. I wanted the black grill anyway, so it was a no-brainer.
Good luck!

I remember when I was buying my truck, I asked about black pearls, and they said it was a few HUNDRED more for the black pearls for the LTD. For some reason I am thinking of more than $400. I just had the exact price in my head a few weeks ago for some reason. I'll have to look to see where I got it from.

yeah got rear ended by some lady in a beat up Volvo...Like 8-10mph...From the shock I thought I was going to find my rear crunched...not a dent when i got back there...you should have seen her car
No insurance I'm sure...I come up to her window and she goes "I sorry. I no looookeeeeng." I just rolled my eyes, looked at the damage to the front of her vehicle, smiled and said "No problem." got in the truck and drove off

thats what i was thinkin. the new paint scheme we're planning on is white, with gray rhino lined bumper, fender flares, bed and rails and from the chrome strips on the doors and side-down. take the chrome strips off and spray those gray. maybe the chrome on the grille too.
