Need a picture of Desert Dune painted bumpers
My 4R still has the chrome bumpers with the front bumper having the black trim. I was wondering what my 4R would look like if the bumpers were painted to match the body. Does anyone have pictures/links of this (no photoshop please)? My 4Runner is Desert Dune (so I'm told) and I've seen some pics on here that might match it, but I don't trust my own judgement when it comes to color.
Also, I really want to do something to my bumpers to get rid of that stock look. That's why I want to paint them. But, is there anything else I could do? I'm open to replacing the bumpers also because right now I'm just looking at all my options.
Thanks.

matt,
instead of wasting your money painting your bumper to get rid of that 'stock' look, just buy a TJM or an ARB bumper. search both terms and you'll read and see more pics than you will have time for.

After looking at the ARB and TJM bumpers, I'll just stick with my stock bumpers. They don't look so bad, but I really like this guys 4R:

Do you think the body is desert dune? What do you think the trim is?

matt,
youre getting years of experience here from the members whove all read and been there and done that. best thing to make your truck more functional and look better is to get a TJM or an ARB

Matt,
If you want to paint your bumpers, go ahead. You dont have to buy a big off road bumper. I have seen the SR5 bumpers and valance painted and they look fine.. Just color match your paint rather than the 2 tone desert dune and millenium silver. Its not going to look like the limited with all the plastic and fender flares though.
I happen to like chrome bumpers but I still am thinking of painting the valance to color match. Mine is desert dune as well.
Just a thought.
