    I wouldn't try. If it mismatched I'd be bummed. Drag they won't just sell the painted ones. I've seen those black plastic caps, not to my taste.

    Just pointing out for clarity that mine are not those "caps" that go over the OEM ones. My bumper caps are the SR black molded OEM ones.

    Chrome blocks the radar, so yes. That's why Tacos with Blind Spot Monitors come with painted rear bumper caps.
