You would be smart to paint it or atleast clear coat it. Its molded in a plastic that is similar in color to cyber grey metallic. If the plastic is left untreated it could fade in spots.

thanks those pics help. I really dont see the need to paint it. I mean looks good painted and the guy made a good point. But if the plastic goes it wont be the only plastic on the car to do. ANd I plan on saving the old grill

you black out the flashers as well? Did you do the install job yourself.

yep did it all myself, i used nighshades to black it out i did 2 light coats over just the blinkers and then one coat over the headlights and flashers, it was easy just took alittle time. getting that bumper off was kinda a pain in the ass, if you do do the install take off both front tires and take out the fender covers, i left the tires on and just took out the front half of the bolts holding on the fender covers and it was a PAIN!
