It doesn't take much to prep the chrome bumper you already have...you're going to spend more money buying another bumper and having it painted.

Sanding and some metal etching primer, and you'll have a nicely finished bumper that will last.

It may be a little more but I like the one piece look with no break between the upper and lower sections.
To each his own

I don't really notice a big difference, and wanted to stay away from urethane.

But that is inconsequential, as I was referring to your plans for the rear bumper.

Ah gotcha yes I cannot have the urethane on the rear as it interferes with the factory hitch. They make painted steel bumpers for the work truck package. I'm still not sure which route I will take.

I looked into that already, as if it comes painted, it would have matched my black paint. Since I couldn't find any of those online OEM parts discounters that had the 2007 Tundra listed yet, I went to the local dealer. They told me $390 for the hitch bumper, yikes! Not sure if that included the hitch or not, they were VERY uneducated when it came to the new Tundras...

That looks awesome, I would probably do that too if my truck was anything but black.

Chrome looks better IMHO.

My Dodge Ram Front and Rear Bumper is factory painted silver like the rest of the pickup and I wish it was chrome. In fact I asked the guy if I could swap out my rear and front bumper to chrome and he thought I was nuts and asked why. I told him real trucks have chrome because paint will just scratch from off roading. Now on a 4x2 sport truck that's different.
