    I think matte black will work with metallic gray body. Way better than the chrome. Are they easy to remove and replace?

    I ordered a set from Amazon they were like $80. I haven’t got them yet should be here by Saturday. I was thinking of sandblasting and painting them but for the price I took a chance. My brother owns a body shop but I didn’t want to tie his booth up when he could be making money. I’m reserving a spot for some other work.

    I've heard they are pretty easy to remove. Much easier than other parts for sure lol

    I bought these off eBay for around $120. They are an actual replacement not a cover like a lot of options I’ve seen. They are a 202 black paint code and have held up great.

    They're pretty easy, Just be careful when you pull out the plastic clips. I broke 2 of them when I replaced mine.

    Hopefully the black looks ok with Metallica gray. I think it will because the rest of the bumper is black. Of not my friend owns a body shape and can paint them.

    These are the TPO textured Bumpershellz. It matches the Tonneau cover and all of the black trims perfectly.

    Since you went with the matte black and the rest of the bumper is that color I'm sure it will look fine.
