Loved the look of the trailhunter’s front end, I think the contrast with the underground color goes well together.
After doing some research I found that the part number for the lower valance is:
#53911-AK010 for black
#53911-AK020 for silver
Toyota will sell you that part for around $300 and no way am I paying that much for a plastic panel.
So instead I picked up some aluminum colored plastidip for $15 and got to pulling out the front end. Bumper removal was fairly easy, followed nytop's hybrid bumper instructions. The plastidip matches the powdercoat of the trd skid plate almost exactly, even has a metallic finish.
I know a lot of people prefer to black out the emblem and OEM off road wheels, but I actually like the machined rim and love how it looks with the silver valance and trd skid plate together.
Waiting for a few more mods before I post a full build thread.
edit: if anyone is getting a trailhunter in socal and wants to trade valances let me know
