any idea if i can just pull that piece out? or do i have to dissemble the whole bumper to fit in?

If you remove your splash guard under the motor, you'll be able to access the tabs that hold it in place. A flat blade screw driver will help compress the tabs for removal.

The part is plated (not painted) the brownish platinum color for the 2017+ model years.

yah i just emailed the vendor, told me the part is not painted......

how should i go about this? any suggestions? how much do you think it might be to paint this with factory paint..?
im looking around for a used one on the forums and online, but no luck so far.

Take a picture from further away. Maybe there's a way someone can recommend to make it less noticeable. I do agree it bothers to see this on the car, but maybe there may be a easier fix vs. having to order it and have it painted.

probably wayyy too much money to buy new part and repaint. ill probably just wait it out honestly and hopefully find a used 2017 for this part for cheap on ebay. i think the 17 models are still way too new to find this specific part easily.
