Front end covers? Photos?

Does anyone have a leather or vinyl front end cover on their 4th gen? (I think the term used to be a "bra" but I'm not sure that's politically correct these days!)

If so, any photos? My recently acquired 2008 has some scratches and scrapes on all 4 corners of the bumpers; the previous owner seemed to have never met a post, garage edge or other vehicle bumper he didn't like!

I am confident that between some touch-up paint, clay bar, and buffer, I can get the rear bumper corners whipped into shape. The damage to the front bumper would likely need some body shop work, probably a new bumper.

My original plan was to put a bug deflector on the hood but now I'm thinking of putting a front end cover on as a (much) cheaper alternative. HOWEVER, you just don't see them on vehicles very often these days and it seems like they're just not very fashionable these days?

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

 

it seems most are going with the clear covers, I'm not sure I've seen a cover like you're talking about on a 4runner yet, curious to see what you find.

 

Go to your local auto body paint supply place and ask them if they recommend someone that does painting on the side. I had two Tacoma camper tops painted by the same guy for $200 each. Worth it IMO.

 

THAT is a good idea. I would never have thought of that. I do have a possible lead, via a contact from my dad, on a good and very reasonably-priced body shop - but if that doesn't pan out, I'm going to try this suggestion! Thanks.
