    What’s up guys. New here, and new to 4runners. Frankly.....I have never even owned a new vehicle in my life. Feels weird to say out loud. I’ve been working since I’m a little kid and I’ve never had a new vehicle. Well as it turns out, I somehow did real well with the stocks since Covid and got myself a small windfall. Went in with the intention of getting enough for a good downpayment for a new 4Runner and have made enough to buy it at cost......somehow (I am not financially savvy lol).

    Anyway, I like the 2021 Off-road Premium. I feel like it will hold it’s value the best as well. I am a fan
    of black for vehicles personally. Kinda the only color I feel comfortable in. However with this model, I see that the bumper on all of them is silver, no matter the color. I understand that some may dig the contrast, but I think I would prefer it in black as well. I am wondering if Toyota would swap that out or if anything like that is even possible through them. And then if not, what is the best way of going about painting it or purchasing ones I would like better?

    Thanks for any insight.

    Hi ya Michael, welcome to forum, congrats on your windfall. IRS will be happy to relieve you of their cut come next April.

    You'll want Toyota part #5390135250 (valance panel, front, lower, black). Approx. $200. shipped at several on line dealerships.

    Did the same thing on my 2020 OR. Watch this video for insight on installing without removing bumper.

    Haha yeah the whole capital gains tax. I know. I am hoping to set aside a good 10K to feed Uncle Sam his cut and pay whatever is left over in installments. I’ve thought a lot about this. I prefer to have An IRS payment plan as opposed to Toyota car payments.

    But anyway, dude, thank you. That is awesome. Right off the bat and you have given me gold. Is this something that whatever Toyota dealership I go with to get the actual vehicle from would potentially be able to order for me? Since I’ll be there anyway.

    Thanks man. My brother lives in Sedona these days. Quite possibly the most beautiful part of this country, in my opinion. Like, unreal beautiful.

    I am in Queens, NY :confused: lol . There are nice places outside of the city to have fun in the woods though. NY state is massive.

    Like I said in the OP, I am new to shopping for a brand new vehicle.

    What am I realistically looking at price-wise out the door on a ‘21 off-road premium? Maybe just the moonroof option for now, other things down the line. Like.....after taxes, Delivery fees, all that jazz. What is a realistic price out the door I can haggle these guys into? For what it’s worth I will be taking my loudmouth Italian coworker from the Bronx who sold cars for 4 years with me.

    Everyone likes to talk about out the door price but it’s not a relevant way to gauge the price as tax rates can be significantly different from one place to another, same with the cost of plates and registration.

    I just sprayed everything with "spray-on" vinyl. It can be removed, protects the front and is easy to touch up. I will check the product info a load a phot if you are interested.

    Takes about 4 hours to tear down, clean, paint and reconstruct.

    Anybody know why Toyota did this? Is it simply styling? I don't mind the contrast but would have definitely preferred a uniform color.

    Hey broski. Quick question if you’re still around. The valances (both front and rear) come in “matte black” from where I found them. Is that typical and what is normally used when matched with “Midnight Black Metallic” color on 4runners?

    Pretty sure just styling. I imaging the thinking is that it was just a way to set the TRD OffRoad package apart from the SR5 visually. Besides that, the only other difference is the wheels. It doesn't even come with better tires.

    I was planning to go the blackout route, but having lived with my ORP for six months now, I've really come to like the brightwork, especially on the front end. It lends the front some visual interest, and breaks up the giant schnoz.

    I plasti-dipped mine. I have the 2021 Magnetic Gray Metallic TRD ORP. Total cost of project was 25 bucks and ~2 hours of my time.

    was gonna have them wrapped until I found out it would cost 150-200 per valance. I was not down for that.

    this was my logic:

    A) if I screw it up, I'll just peel it off and try again.
    B) if I cant do it well at all, ehh, im only out 25 bucks. no biggie.
    C) if I do get it right and it lasts ~2 years...not a bad way to spend 25 bucks!

    there's also a bunch of great videos and DIY info online on how to plastidip it well.

    I am more and more looking at doing them with linex or similar truck bed liner.
    Take them off, sand them down, clean them like crazy (no grease or contaminants) and linex.
    More work but probably better results and durability than plastidip

    when I was buying all the stuff at Home Depot, the only reason I didn't get the truck bed liner was because it was 10 bucks a can. lol as opposed to 5 a can for the plasti.

    I figured I would do the plasti first, to get down the process since it was the cheaper route.

    I researched the truck bed liner a ton as well. thats definitely a better way to go if youre gonna so something like this.

    TLTR: I will def be doing the truck bed liner once this starts to wear down/peel, now that I know how to do it properly.
