Anyone installed one of these bumper appliques?

    That looks like the official Toyota applique - they aren't easy to put on...

    I ended up ditching mine (they aren't durable - so you kinda need an applique to protect your applique ;-) ).

    The rigid black plastic ones on EBay are simple to install - and very durable - and low cost...

    Oh, I thought this one might be different than the 'official' one, which is what I had before. Maybe the photo justs makes it look different. I really don't like how the black one looks. But thanks anyway.

    You must put a lot of wear on the bumper surface from hauling, etc. The applique lasts as long as a tint film as long as you don't touch it (except of course during washing). The black plastic ones are an eyesore but I guess necessary if you do a lot of hauling.
