Yes, please post some pics if you can. Not sure if I should go with flat black or gloss on a ob coupe?

Fosho. I will post up some pictures as soon it stops raining out here.

Yea, there shouldv'e been an option to pick your choice of color grill, btw chrome and black. It looks way better and matches the other parts of the oem bumper.

ooo thats a tuff call...OB makes flat black kinda cheap...and tryin to match gloss is even harder.....any colors u like ? lol y not paint it white JK....not to pee in ur cheerios, but its almost worth keeping chrome on a OB

Can anyone tell me if you can use the same paint supplies/techniques to black out the chrome around the windows and the chrome spoiler/trunk lip?

Depends on what kind of paint supply your using. But the color and texture will not be the same as your OB.

Ahh yes.

That confused me for awhile too.

The trick?

You take the two black square tab attachments out of the bumper by squeezing them inward and pulling them out. Then you push them all the way into the grill so that they are locked into the grill correctly. Then you put the whole assembly back into the bumper so it "clicks" back in!
