Color match is perfect, plust the spray cans com with a special spray cap that mimics paint guns. They worked great!

Looks 100x's better with the rollpan like that.... it would add a little detail to yours as well.

I have thought about that. Depends on if I do the rear bumper cap a color.

I'm more worried about it vibrating around and scratching the paint unerneath. Don't know but I ordered a replacement. Probably won't do it right away.

I am a plastics guy. Been in the business for 20 years. It is a very poorly designed clip. High stress area, near the gate, no radius, and to thick. Not to mention the environmental attacks. Harsh detergents, waxes, silicone etc. I also think its made from ABS or at least an amorphous material. Poor chemical resistance.
