Just picked up a black billet grille any suggestions on the bumper behind the grille? I know it looks a hell of alot better black instead of white, but would rather not paint. Anyone do any thing else instead of painting? Just looking for other options.

Is it metal or plastic? Can it be powdercoated?

Nope....didn't miss it here. Just don't know the underlying structure of the 4th gens....too new for my usual suspects.

behind the grille is still part of the whole front bumper cover. whatever it is, plastic urethane rubber...whichever

Paul, you can see the portion of the bumper that's behind the billet grille stands out since it's still painted body color. Painting this black makes the grille stand out more.

Figured that was the reasoning....just wasn't sure what the underlying structure was. Then yes I would paint it....either semi gloss or flat black.
