    I think the bumper needs colored matched as well. Those flares look pretty sweet.

    Yeah... if it was chrome I could see their point but if you order a "paintable" bumper it's the base bumper... which is what you have OP. Unless you dipped the chrome or something.

    I've often wondered why the "bolts" aren't just cast in....Or deleted all together and smoothed over.
