EDIT: Do you have any more pics of your rig?
Thanks

my runner is red, and the bumper and grill and all that good stuff in the front are black, i think it looks good on red, and it might not be too bad on blue. if you want i could put up some pics tommorow
and when i go off into the bushes and get scratches all i do is toss a little black spraypaint on it and it's good as new.

That's funny stuff. I have already spent $400 replacing my bumpers so I could have chorme since my runner is the striped model with gray bumpers. I personally like the Chrome look a lot better.

i say definately leave the bumper be, but painting that chrome around the grill can look good. Like BigBadBlue, with that color blue you got there it would look really good i think. Just my .02

Take a notice of my 2nd gen. Just go to my webshots page thats listed in my sig. I had thought about buying chrome bumpers and such since mine came only with painted ones, but due to cost, when I had my Runner painted, I had the bumpers painted to match.
