    oh yea the ideal on painting The Bumpers came to me after seeing a Car from a car shop with one installed.. There is a guy that works within Ts 123gone that has did this Nissan altima and it look's very good...

    Picture below .. I have allways hated the bumpers on the 03 plus tundra because there Not like the better metal bumpers the tundra had in the 00 to 02 setup...give me your opinions everybody:superconf

    cuss Yamaha doesn't make car's with the exception on the Joint engineering between Yamaha/Toyota on the Celica :) :) ........

    Nothing wrong with NIssan at all there not too bad I think of them as the Mopar between Toyota and Honda. Design wise Nissan is cool but there just engineering seems to be spottey on certain models..

    problem is the roughness of the plastic. it just looks off. if it was smoother I'd be all for it

    I don't like the line-x for bumpers. I just like it for bed liners and maybe the undercariage.

    Kind of along the same lines, what do you guys think of spraying 6-8 inches of line-x along the rocker panels? ...kind of a cheap alternative to rockrails.

    On a truck it would look good no matter where you sprayed it :) I just don't think it would look good on cars. I even knew a guy that line-x'd his whole interrior dash and call, it was pretty leet. He could just come home from a day of mudding and pressure wash out his cab :D

    When I got my bed Line-X'ed, I opted not to have my bumper done because the particular dealer I had do it did not have the Dupont Nason mix-in colors to color-match it.

    What I DID have Line-X'ed was my SmittyBuilt Predator bumper guard for the front that I still haven't gotten installed. Every single time, without fail, that I schedule in advance a time to do it SOMETHING happens. If there is ever another Colorado meet I may slap it in the bed, and drive up for some "help" getting it installed. During the May 20th get together you guys had (Erik and Andy, and some others from TS.com), I was in the damn hospital.
